Snatching Slugworm

Due to their success, some of the Slugworms moved out into the surrounding savannah. On the rich pickings of the grasses and dead matter, the Slugworm grew much bigger very quickly and has evolved into a much more effective ‘hunter’. Its wings now secrete an extremely sticky substance. Whilst feeding on Violet Grass, the worm releases odors into the air, attracting flying worms of all kinds. These worms hit the Snatching Slugworm’s wings and get stuck. The individual wing then wraps itself round the victim and brings it to the ground where the worm eats it. It is thanks to its ancestor’s individual wing movements that it can do this.
