The most evil ones

We are immersed in the world of the most ferocious insects, where poison, ambushes and strange weapons rule the roost. Bullet ants with the most painful bite of insects, predatory antlion larvae that build death traps, and riders that lay eggs in the bodies of other insects. Here survival — is war, and being bad has become the crown of evolution.
