The Forest

Pollena’s Services
A small business run by Polly the Millipede and Helena the Bee Hummingbird. They help transport arthropods no bigger than themselves around the Forest up to The Riverway. Due to their business being rather close to Antopia, they are very familiar with the ants that come from there and are all on very friendly terms.

The Forest Village
A small village located near a rocky pathway, just short of Apex Strait. The insects there are frequently ravaged by the predators of Apex Strait, and hence have rather decent defences for retaliation.

Apex Strait
A dark and dangerous road a short distance from The Forest Village. It is notoriously known in the village as the predator hotspot: rogue mantids, centipedes, and birds. Prior to the main series, no bug has ever seen what lies beyond the area and those who do travel either make it back with an inch of their life or never do so. These survivors have found out recently that many bodies of the predators (sans the birds) have been  Throughout the duration of and after the game’s completion a safe path is forged and bugs are able to safely travel and interact with the birds of that area. Bubobo mentions that she found Einar there as a grub.

The Great Tree
An extremely large and old tree located at the end of Apex Strait and just below a vast cluster of mountains, and the adoptive homeland of Einar. Over the years, it has been somewhat hollowed out and expanded upon in order to facilitate and house various forest/mountain bird species. It is also the main hub of all Bird Stations.

The birds residing within The Great Tree are extremely close with one another and have formed a peaceful community with one another. They are extremely welcoming to any who wish to join in with their community, bird or not. After adopting Einar, they now wish to forge a friendship/alliance of sorts with bugs and hope that one day they can all coexist with one another.

The Monarch’s Land
Deep in the heart of the forest, where a large lake connects to The Riverway’s River and the sun’s rays gently illuminate the forest bedding is a large gathering area for Monarch Butterflies. The Monarchs are incredibly knowledgeable and have supposedly seen worlds outside of MantaLand beyond an insect’s comprehension. In the early morning as the sun rises and settles upon the forest floors, the Monarchs will begin their morning dance and fill the forest with a vast array of oranges that swirl and flutter about the forest.
