(Copypasted from the threads)''The '''Snow Beetles''' of the Wildwood are scavenging terrestrial insects. They develop a rough row of keratin 'teeth' and claws over their mouths and on their 'hands', respectively, which they use to scrape every last scrap of flesh from a carcass' skeleton. Regions of the forest where Snow Bugs reside are littered with pearly white bones.''

''Snow Beetles develop a node on their rears which, despite its colouring, emits heat and a soft glow.''
''Since they enjoy the cold, their heaters are actually to clear areas of permafrost and, through gathering in these areas, create welcoming oases in the harsh forest for sick and abandoned Arctic Serpents.''
''Naturally, these serpents rarely recover and eventually provide a feast for the entire Snow Beetle nest.''

''The Snow Beetles retreat underground and heat the area above them en masse, inviting more wildlife, especially aforementioned loner Treeserpents which they monitor from below by detecting vibrations.''
''Once they sense a creature dying above their nest, scouts emerge from the various tunnels hidden around the area, pull and saw (Scouts have evolved saw-hands, will show in next drawing) chunks of the carcass apart and drag them underground into food storage.''

''Snow Beetles start developing individually to suit their tasks.''
''Scouts grow saw-like claws which are used to cut and drag carcasses to bring them back to the nest.''
''Workers grow shovel-like claws to aid in digging and expanding the nests.''
''Caterers guard the food storage and dispense it around the colony, workers usually get the majority share though successful scout parties are rewarded with first pick of their spoils.''
''Scouts and workers tend to be male and caterers female, though this is merely a trend, rather than an absolute.''
