Pollution actually makes the bugs stronger. Maybe they like pollution and want to go eat it all up.

They get stronger because they mutate to fight back

I never meant evolution, or to spark a debate about it. They fucking get stronger the more poison there is, maybe something whacky happens to them

That's not how evolution works. A species evolves to get stronger in battle if the weak ones die in battle. A species evolves stronger lungs if the weak ones die of lung cancer. Dying of lung cancer doesn't make a species better fighters.

Drag is correct, but it's fantasy evolution we're talking about

Maybe. Or maybe they like the pollution. Maybe with better resource availability, they're able to spend more energy on growing bigger and stronger without threatening survival.
