Massai Mara, Kenya - 12:21PM
After ten minutes had passed, the bug stirred and are its cocoon emerging being 3cm taller and 4cm longer. The most signifficant change was that the limbs with the pincers had been replaced by a pair of human arms, albeit covered in the same green-brown exoskeleton that covered the majority of the bug. At the wrists, there were small hooks that were also present on the bug's other legs, and the forearms and hands were covered in small brown hairs.
Crawling out of its tunnel, the bug stood still for a moment, then walked into a random direction for a few steps and dug a shallow hole. It then gagged a few times, before regurgetating the pieces of clothing and various bits and pieces that were in the poachers pockets that it couldn't digest, packed in a pallet. After this, the bug shooked its head a little, and filled the hole with sand.
With this done, the bug moved back to the rhino corpse and continued eating away at it. Once it had eaten a leg, the bug raised its head as it picked up a new scent coming from several sources. It didn't take long before the bug saw the sources of the scent; a clan of hyenas, twelve strong, coming from the right. The bug wasn't pleased to see this, remember well enough what happened when wild dogs came to claim its kill. Turning to face the hyenas, the bug lowered itself on its forelegs, raising its tail and spreading out its arms and wings, while agressively clackings its mandibles and buzzing its wings. This deterred the hyenas for a moment, but then began circling around the bug and the rhino corpse it was guarding. Hissing, the bug saw it couldn't scare the hyenas off that easily, and not wanting a physical confrontation being heavily outnumbered, backed away. It had no intention of giving up its meal, however.
Moving away from the corpse, careful to avoid the hyenas, the bug moved to where it had eaten the first of the poachers, and looking around for a moment. Finding and moving over to what it was looking for, the bug picked up the rifle, a Savage M10 bolt action rifle. Turning around to face the hyena clan, whom now were beging to eat away at the rhino, the bug raised the rifle to look through the scope, oddly seeming to know exactly how to take aim, but fidgeted for a bit, the rifle obviously not designed to be fired by someone with a body shape like the bug.
After getting finding a position that let it aim well, the bug took aim at the largest hyena, and shot it through the side, toppling it over, although it was still alive. With the clan dispersing and moving away from the rhino corpse with panicked squeeks, the bug shot a second hyena to drive the message that their pressence wasn't appreciated home, then lowered the rifle as the clan fled. Approaching the rhino corpse again, stinging the hyena it shot first with its tail stinger on the way, the bug laid down the rifle, then resumed its meal.
