Neosukalensis diggensa
Evolved from S. maputensa. This species has evolved to make small burrows, or chambers, at the base of Lorensia potensus plants. Being, just 1-3 inches, this species can fit small families of 6-10 in the small chambers. They feed on the Lorensia potensus plants still, however the plant gains some protection from larger, more harmful predators by defecating around their entrance. This wards off predators from the area as well as fertilizes the soil. During the day, they emerge from their nests and begin feeding on their plant, while during the night they pull debris over the entrance with their legs. They have large front legs, and their mouthpart is small but sharp. They’re a dark black color, with their underside being grey. They are in small breeding pairs within their nests, and have a small tunnel leading to another chamber containing eggs of the breeding pairs. Once these eggs have hatched (4-6 per pair), they join the adults until they’re old enough to split off and join a seperate group. In January, all pairs leave their nest and create a new one. This is the same time of year that the juveniles leave, and it successfully mixes up genes within the population.
