She waited for a few hours before she 'felt' movement in the tunnel from her electromagnetic field she deployed in the back area and the tunnel. She ran to the tunnel entrance and found a winged insect in it.

Quickly jumping to the side of the entrance she waited in ambush, ready to inject it with sedative venom from her stinger. The winged insect continued advancing down the tunnel, she did not need to see it she could feel it coming. When it came to the end of the tunnel and just into the small area she jumped.

Jumping on to the winged insect she stung it with sedative venom and it flopped on the floor asleep. With it knocked out she dragged it into the pile of things to be eaten. Just as she had done that she heard cracking and squelching sounds so she turned around.

Turning around she saw the two chrysalises the larvae went into breaking and grey-brown winged insects just like her fumble out. [Eat] she ordered them. The two grey-brown winged insects immediately walked up to the pile and started to eat.

They ate until full and then stood around idly. Meanwhile she waited continued to wait near the entrance for the second lot of eggs she laid to be born. The food pile had lost a quater of what it had originally.

----------------------------------------

About a hour or two passed until the next two eggs were born, immediately she ordered them to eat then evolve into the same grey-brown winged insect form without the ability to breed, Swarmer is what she named them.

With four Swarmer's ready she decided to move out into the front of the cave, leaving two swarmer's to guard the entrance and two swarmer's to organise the pile of food. Moving through the tunnel with two swarmer's behind her she ordered them to stop in the middle of tunnel and she continued moving to entrance into the large cave entrance area.

When she got there she saw a large amount of eggs and some chrysalises. They were guarded again, this time by seven winged insects flying around or walking on the ground. [Come] Focusing, she orders the two Swarmer's in the tunnel to move forward. As they move to just behind her she orders them [Attack]. The two Swarmer's move in front of her to attack two winged insects in front of them with their backs turned to her small group facing the front of the cave. 

While the Swarmer's move forward she focuses on her antennae, trying to surround the two with her own electromagnetic field. She knows she is taking a risk trying to see if it will cut them off from their electromagnetic network with their own hive. With the birth of her first four members of her species she gained more intelligence with event on top of the intellect she developed gaining her current form. She gained this intellect due to the fact she essentially now has five brains due to the four Swarmer's contributing their intellect to the hive mind of their own electromagnetic network.

The risk paid off though the two winged insects got overwhelmed by the electromagnetic field which was equivalent to five of them and got stunned. The two swarmers immediately jumped on this chance and stung them with sedative venom and then ripping their heads off and eating them straight away.

[Drag...Return] She orders the two swarmer's to drag the corpses back and return to the back area while she drags a chrysalis back. 

Once they returned she killed the creature in the chrysalis. Both the corpses and chrysalis are added to the pile, it gains back some of its previous amount. 

She then stays waiting in the tunnel until the four other larvae are born.

----------------------------------------

When the new larvae were born about half an hour later she ordered three to evolve into Swarmer's and one in to a new type called Spawner which has same base form as the winged insects she and the Swarmers have taken on except it has no wings for flight or stinger for sedative venom however it has the capabilty to lay eggs to birth larvae by using biomass and the usual electromagnetic usage of fields and telepathy.

[Eat] She orders the three new Swarmer's and one Spawner.

Once the new Swarmer's are done eating she orders them to follow her and the two Swarmer's already following her. With five Swarmer's following her she leaves the back area to the two Swarmer's guarding it and the Spawner which is just idling.

When she reached the front of the tunnel she quickly looked around and that there was still on five guards there. She prepared her electromagnetic field and ordered [Attack] to the Swarmer's. 

While the Swarmer's moved forward to attack she released her electromagnetic field and stunned the winged insects just like last time and the Swarmer's stung them with sedative venom and bit their heads off, eating them. 

[Secure] She ordered the five Swarmer's to secure the area in the front area while it was empty. 

[Kill] Focusing she then ordered the two guarding Swarmer's to come forward from the back area of the cave and kill the various chrysalises and eggs inhabitants. Then she ordered the Spawner [Eat...Birth], telling it to eat then lay four eggs. She herself then goes around and helps the two Swarmer's who are killing the creatures in the eggs and chrysalises and tidying it all up into a pile.

This was done in about half an hour, once complete she had the five Swarmer's who came with her guard the front area of the cave with the two Swarmer's who came later guarding the entrance to the tunnel to the back area of the cave. She herself then went into the back through to the back of the cave and ate from the pile their, then laid two eggs herself and then ate her fill again. The back area of the cave was getting quite full so she ordered the Spawner to eat its fill again too, there would then only be just under half of the pile left.

She then started to think. Now that she had secured the entire cave she had to hold it. She already decided to push out the winged insects but she knew that most likely won't be enough as they could try to get the cave back again. The winged insects may have other areas that they use but even if they do they most likely would want this area back as they have shown signs of wanting to keep it before. 

It would most likely be a hard battle and she had yet to see that larger winged insect with a more dominant electromagnetic field again, that one would most likely come back again if a fight was going to happen and it would definately not be alone.

For all that she needed to prepare but first, she needed to rest a while. One final thing needed to be done before she could rest though and that was to order the Spawner to birth two more eggs, this time just outside the tunnel in the entrance area of the cave as there was a lack of room in the back area now. 

Now she could sleep for a while.
