Secrets of the jungle chapter 2- the ravine

The sinomacrops flew home with they’re next meal, some chitin armor. They haven’t eaten in a while, as the bugs have all migrated, but it was nesting season so they couldn’t follow them.

“I bet leader will be so happy with this.” Called a Sino happily.

“Uh, guys…” said another Sino in a nervous voice.

“What now, Monarch?” Called the first Sino.

“What’s wrong, Monarch?” Called her mate, HoneyBee.

“I don’t think these where bugs…” said Monarch.

“Of corse they are, ants for brains. Bugs are the only things with exoskeletons.” Said the first Sino, sounding annoyed.

“But… Arn’t there bipedal monkeys that make tools and armor out of chitin sometimes?” Called monarch.

“Yes, yes. There are, but we know that none of them come over here!” Yelled the first

“Where is HoneyBee?” Called monarch anxiously..

“Wait, I hear something. Stop yelling,Naika.” Monarch said in a loud wisper.

“Oh, Monarch. It’s fine! Those darn Dilo things are scared of our flash! We’re fine.”

Then, suddenly, before monarch could argue back, something lunged out of the trees.
