- Reproduction
- The mating swarms of the Gae Staniq will surround warm-blooded animals, bite deep pits into their skin, and live birth 1 to 4 larvae in the open wound. These rapidly burrow under the skin, eating and growing. They eventually form cysts and begin pupating into the adult insects, a process that can take weeks. Assuming the victim is still alive at this point the newly moulted young then burst forth, and fly away.
