Caffa
Caffa Adults
Large insects with unusually strong wings of iridescent goldgleam, caffas have learned to navigate at ground level and below, flying tight and low between and around spaces that seem far too small for their size. In tight spaces, caffas are formidable opponents due to their ability to dodge hits and slip through tiny areas to attack from unexpected directions. Caffas have a wingspan of 4 feet (1 m).
Caffa Larva
Caffa adults plant the seeds of their larvae with a special type of wing flap. The larvae crawl along the ground or dig into it, feasting on any flesh they find, whether living or dead. After feasting, they burrow into the ground and spin themselves into cocoons. They remain in this state for anywhere from a few hours to a few days before emerging as adult caffas.
Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
Caffas inhabit areas with strong winds. They typically live low to the ground and sometimes even dwell underground. Caffa larvae go wherever the adults plant them, usually in swarms of up to a dozen.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Caffa are carnivorous.
Conservation Status
A few caffas are somewhat dangerous, but a swarm can threaten a whole community. Locals often pay well to have someone deal with an infestation. Sometimes hunters go looking for the creatures to harvest their goldgleam.
