You know the coil of silk rope I gave Rikou? Well, I figured out where it came from - you see, not all of the Aburame clan are ninja. In fact, their family is more famous as merchants, despite how very good their ninja members tend to be... most of them have only a few destruction bugs to defend their personal hive, and lots and lots of weaver bugs. Aburame silk is the softest and most durable material known, and can be spun with varying amounts of stretch - the bodygloves that many ninja favor for their freedom of movement are often made from Aburame silk, though obviously ninja from villages actively hostile to the leaf have to find other options, like the rubber-based wetsuits sometimes used by mist-nin. Aburame silk ropes are also highly valued by the ANBU hunter-nin and interrogators, as they are nearly five times stronger than a metal cable of the same diameter, and far more conducive to having chackra channeled into them for rope-animation capture jutsu.
Completely non-canon, but it makes sense, no? Feel free to kife.

ETA: I forgot to write down - ninja Aburame still have weaver bugs, but only a few - they spin the silk-lined passages the bugs use to move through an Aburame's body, maintaining them as the host grows or if they are damaged.
Also, I penciled Lee and Gai and a second iteration Rikou/Naruto, but the scanner is STILL not working, and until it is this is as good as things get, trying to take a picture of penciled art with a digital camera. I could spend three or four hours cleaning it up in Photoshop, but the result would only be good enough to turn light blue, print, and ink over to scan again, so it's not worth it.
All members of Team Explosive Youth posing for the camera. (Well, Rikou is more interested in the snuggle op, but she's got a V-sign out too)What, you think Samuel L. Jackson isn't going to survive the zombie apocalypse?
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
