Two questions about the Staff of Swarming Insects:
1. Can the Insect Cloud feature be dispelled? Since they are actually insects, I'm ruling this the same way as Animate Dead or a conjured creature and cannot be dispelled. Is this correct or no?
2. Since they're actual insects, can Truesight see through them? I'm currently ruling that Truesight cannot see through creatures (and a swarm is a creature). Am I right in this or no?
"Insect Cloud: While holding the staff, you can use an action and expend 1 charge to cause a swarm of harmless flying insects to spread out in a 30-foot radius from you. The insects remain for 10 minutes, making the area heavily obscured for creatures other than you. The swarm moves with you, remaining centered on you. A wind of at least 10 miles per hour disperses the swarm and ends the effect."
