Description
A group of nomad foragers in the swamplands realized that they've made a grave mistake when they ventured too deep into the borders between the swamp and the collosal forests
As one goes nearer into the towering jungles of the north, the landscapes would begin to change into something resembling no man's land, no large megafaunas that usually inhabit the prairies or swamps are to be seen anywhere, only creatures small enough to hide inside burrows or crevices, hiding from things even larger and more terrifying than the prairie giants, lurking behind the tall trees not far away. Even grasses and small vegetations are absent, they have already evolved to stay away from the ever-creeping forest, to avoid being engulfed in their shade. The plants that do grow resembles nothing like the normal vegetations the nomads usually see, instead they look more like gigantic versions of plants that grow in the dark forest floors. Because that's exactly what they are.

The nomads realized they have caught the attention of one of the insect giants from the forest, ironically a monstrous land-bound descendant of old world mosquitoes, though the females are flightless giants, the smaller males can be seen hovering over the trees far at the back. Both primarily drinks plant saps in their normal daily routine, but nearing the breeding season, the females need a surplus of energy for their eggs, so they have evolved to be able to eat almost anything, huge suckers that can both suck tree sap and blood from creatures as big as itself, but also mandibles to munch on small animals that it can scrape up from beneath the soft muds with its claws, while it's two modified antennas sense for heat in the ground and the other pair for movements on air. They'll eat anything they can find. squirming, galloping, running. or driving
