Pambu Worm

The pambu worm evolved from the gliding sagworm. Many specimen were blown into the pambuforest and couldn't get away, because the wind was broken by the pambu trees. So the worms had to adapt to their environment. Instead of eating the leaves, they just eat toppled down pambus, which are common in a pambu forest. Because they hardly could glide away anymore, the feathers on their backs has stiffened and are used as shovels, when they are burried under leaves or other parts of plants. For eating the pambu, their tongue became a radula. The pambu worms are multitudinous in the pambu forests, where they live, and they loom large in these forests, since they convert the dead pambu into humus. They are 6 centimetres long.
