Leafcutter ants don't eat leaves directly - they use them to grow a nutritious fungus. Empires of the Undergrowth is out now - but a rainforest and leafcutter revamp is very close. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Myrmecia ereptor looking wasp-like in yellow #indiedev #gamedev #insects #ants #gaming

Leafcutter ants collect leaves from their surroundings to grow a nutritious fungus. They may not be meat eaters - but those mandibles are powered by huge muscles and are capable of breaking human skin with ease. Rainforest & leafcutter remaster coming soon! #screenshotsaturday #games #indiegames

In a lair made of roots and leaves, a huge whip spider (Heterophrynus batesii) waits out the day, conserving its energy to hunt under the cover of darkness in the Ecuadorian rainforest. The rainforest art update is going well! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #UE4 #indiegame
