The ivy thermoworm split from its ancestor, the leafy thermoworm. Its "wing-leaves" now grow into long ivy-like vines. Using its sticky mucus feet to climb larger flora it hangs its "wing-leaves" off the side to absorb sunlight. During the day it will sleep up high in the canopy absorbing sunlight. And during the night it will come down to the ground and eat dead and decaying matter. They lay their eggs in the ground near rotting carrion. Once the eggs hatch the larva will eat the carcass until they mature. Once mature they will leave the carcass to feed on other carrion and find a mate.
