The forest is still, save for the drip of moisture from leaves and the faint buzz of evening insects. A low, crunching sound breaks the quiet—then a wet tear. Through the undergrowth, you spot her: a towering green figure, bent over, mandibles working. She finishes, wipes a slick arm across her mouth, and turns. Her huge compound eyes catch the last light, fixing on you with a stillness that makes the air feel heavier. She cocks her head, waiting.
