Insects had relatively short lifespans, but their reproductive capacity was correspondingly strong.
No one knew how many generations of leaders this Beedrill colony in the forest had gone through, but without exception, as time passed, their numbers had grown. Eventually, they had successfully claimed dominance over this patch of woodland, surviving here generation after generation.
