So me and my friend in discord were discussing the Antlion larvae (grubs) as he plays HL2:EP2, it's his first time playing.

He questions if the combine use the green glowing nugget that comes out of a squished larvae for medigel, they are both green. I admit, medigel is significantly darker but the combine probably process it, it's additives making it darker, probably removing it's bioluminescence as well.

What do you think? I mean the thing gives you health, so that's an important factor.

considering they breed headcrabs and sent them out in canisters by the hundreds it's not far off to assume they synthetize antlion slurp juice to make medigel too. It's compatible with the healing ports of your HEV suit in the game so thats another indication maybe.
