Looking at his status, he was satisfied with it and kept walking to find out where he was. But as he was walking, he noticed multiple vibrations around him. Feeling the air around him, he sensed that most of them were female. The realization dawned on him, he had that perk, he was the 'strongest' among all of the other males.

But the problem did not just stop there, he also realized that there were other insects rushing to where he was to 'mate' with him.

"crap baskets" Skye squeaked out as he ran in the other direction from the horde of female insects.
