Hello. I have a project for anyone that is capable.
While searching through some of my possessions, I found a package of rain locust eggs. Rain locusts were a type of large insect native to Walrum. Their adult form is mostly fat and complex sugars stored in the abdomen; they have no digestive systems, so they die several hours after emerging. The adults can be harvested and used for many different foods, but their eggs only hatch during a certain lunar cycle in wet loam, and their larvae are notorious for eating plant roots, especially ones that grow in moist soil (or following a heavy rain). The eggs, however, can be stored almost indefinitely until conditions are right, and only a small starting colony is required to establish the species in an area.
I would like to put these eggs to good use. If someone could figure out how to simulate the conditions required for the rain locusts to continue their cycle in a controlled manner, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Aeneas
