Summary:
In the Mandaras Mountains of northern Cameroon live the Mofu, an ancient tribe that shares its homes and crops with insects in a mutual balance of survival. But a terrible drought hits the region and a legion of termites invade their huts and granaries. To drive them out, the Mofu shaman calls for help from Jaglavak, a ferocious red army ant protected by a thick carapace and armed with pincers that cut, tear and slice through anything in its path.
