Sukalensis cambilli
Predation caused some populations of Sukalensis mipensis to rely more on cover. These populations developed longer antennae to better detect food and mates while hidden in crevices or under sand. Overtime the legs became larger to dig and the body became larger to support greater musculature for digging. The forelimbs overtime began facing more forward and developed a pointed process so they could manipulate food and substrate. The body became more oval shaped to reduce weak points. This collection of adaptations led to the species Sukalensis cambilli.
S. cambilli grows to 7.5cm. The terminal segments of its walking legs are black due to higher concentrations of melanocytes that protect from potential pathogens due to the ends of the legs getting damaged often. S. cambilli spends most of its time buried under sand with its antennae exposed. If it detects an Algeayan it will emerge, grab the Algeayan, and bury itself again with the Algeayan to eat while hidden. Sometimes S. cambilli will stick its mouth out of the sand to feed on any microbes.
S. cambilli is able to detect electrical fields using mechanoreceptors in the antennae. The electrical charge that an individual has is used to signal to potential mates that they are ready to breed.
Consequently, S. cambilli seeks out areas with higher abundance of Raikos when they are preparing to reproduce.
After mating the female will seek out areas with high abundance of Algeayans to lay her eggs. She usually lays 10-20 eggs at a time. The larvae will hatch in 2 months. The larvae are 0.8cm long and have 4 body segments with 2 pairs of legs. The larvae will molt two times gaining one segment and one pair of legs each time. Once they have a lot of nutrients stored they will crawl down to the substrate and bury themselves before molting again sending them into the pupal stage. The pupae are immobile, segmented, oblong, round with a curved point at one end, and have six oblong black spots that appear as the pupae develop. The pupal stage is when they develop the adult reproductive organs and the seventh segment where they are housed. They will also sequester metals into the skin beneath the exoskeleton to increase the body capacitance for when they store electricity as adults. After 3-4 weeks they will emerge as adults.
