RE: About those Piranha Bugs - LOOOOONG

Why 'prohibitive'? There is no indication of the speed of flight,
duration
before return to nest, maybe loooong hibernation periods between periods
of
activity, in which case they literally strip the cpountryside bare for
kilometers in diameter but sleep for 9 months or more between risings?
So
many factors are unknown about the ecosystem these critters live in
based
upon the short description in the game scenario.
