JOrnitho, what do you think of adding some South American free-living invertebrates in rainforests, maybe also Andean highlands and Atlantic forest? You've added only a bee so far, and some are already present in the bestiary, as follows:
Four-striped honey bee
Humped nurse stinkbug
Supai ant - Russian
Barrel beetle, or cylindrical caphead - Russian
Any other ideas?

Large beetles, butterflies and their caterpillars...

Then we can make the description of some species fir the chapter. Perhaps some months for the bats, dragonflies for the dwarf kestrel and other insects for the obrero to eat.

Yes, I can try to make some later. Our bats are small, so the moth must be small, too. A dragonfly seems good, can be very large. And some small butterflies, beetles or hymenopterans for obreros.

I like these ideas. Maybe the moth's caterpillar could feed in the leaves of some bushes in the savanna.

Why savanna? We are still in South America. It should be feeding on trees.

I thought that the chapter could be happening in the Cerrado, which is how the savannas of South America are called in Brazil. The vegetation here have bushes and small trees. The furnarids are common in these open areas, but can also appear in the gallery forests that are found inside this biome.

Oh, I see and agree.
