Description Another one, this time in color!

In the foreground, you can see a flock of purplewing flyers, close relatives of the rainbow flyer. One male is fluffing his neck out, trying to impress a brown female.

To the left is a husk bug, with her young flying out. In husk bugs, the females are several times larger that the males, and covered in spikes. After a female husk bug mates, she crawls onto a tree trunk and dies, leaving her corpse clinging to the tree. The young husk bugs hatch inside their mother, and use her body for shelter and nutrition. Once they've consumed all the flesh, they fly out in big swarms to. These swarms attract many animals, such as the green headed flyer above.

In the background is a nest of architect leapers, a relative of the silky tailed leaper. They gather vine seeds and plant them together to create a thick impenetrable home for themselves (and many smaller animals).
