|---|---|
The dome sapworm split from its ancestor. They have formed their life cycle around the hollowdomes. They now have two forms, a flying form that is unchanged from their ancestor and a crawling larval form. The larval form inhabits the interior of the hollowdomes. They live their for about a year, and develop into a pseudo-adult phase where they are externally the same, but are sexually mature. They then will drill a hole to the surface. This allows a flyer to enter into the hollowdome. The flyer will release eggs into the water, and this will trigger a hormonal change in the pseudo-adult, who will then release their own eggs. Mating causes the pseudo-adult to complete their life cycle, their elytra will split open revealing wings and they will change color to bright blue, transforming into their flyer form and leave the hollowdome in search for other. They lay hundreds of eggs, but only the strongest one survives.
