IWUAaDNW: Exploration 2.2, Growth 3.1, 3.9

What I needed was a tank. And if one was thinking about tanks in the insect world, they of course had to think about beetles. So why couldn’t I make one? Because I hadn’t completed the acquisition research thing. Insect Mastery provided me with 3 free insects to research: Spiders, Bees and Wasps. An ant had died inside my walls, so I was able to make them.

After a moment of watching it toil uselessly, I moved a spider to the entrance and stabbed the beetle with a fang. Within seconds, the beetle’s corpse had disappeared.
