Ancestor:Descendants:

The rowbug split from its ancestor, the vitesenza. It has migrated to Irinya River and Irinya Swamp. There it became aquatic and primarily a filter-feeder. It has grown little hairs in its huge mouth to help it collect food. It also has a primitive gas-bladder in its carapace. Its legs have become long oars which it uses to row around on the surface of the water. When they mate they "kiss" with their cloaca which sticks out of the top of the water. Their 5 eyes are located there so they can look around for any predators.
