BABY ALIENTHINGIES!

And suddenly I totally forgot whatever I was planning to say here. Ah, well, have some baby alien hybrids to distract you.

Oh, right! Couple of words about nesting since it was a bit too off topic to be included in the art bit itself.

Although the triaformica are very social species and prefer to live in tribes/colonies/whateveryouwannacallthem, nesting is always done in private. It varies culturally (and by habitat) how far the nesting family will travel, some tribes can take even a month to migrate to their preferred nesting places, while some are fine going just couple of miles away. Young couples/families will usually stay closer to their colony while nesting, while older ones prefer their privacy more. In the far northern culture it's a tradition that young first time parents will migrate to nest with an older family, and stay within two miles from them, both to learn their traditional migration routes and to have help nearby if something goes wrong (the northerners live in areas with winters too harsh for small wildlings to survive).

Some older families, regardless of culture they are from, will have constant nests where they will return to every time and some even make buildings only for nesting.

Next stop: Colors and markings.
