Leo peered through the binoculars, his expression darkening as he focused on the horizon.
Through the lens, he could make out a massive nest. It wasn't close, but it was so big that Leo could see it from kilometers away; it was honestly frightening.
Leo knew what this nest housed. Moundfang termites. These creatures had dark brown exoskeletons that helped them blend with the soil.
