Story
Beginning Insect Hunter (Points: 30)
Report the removal of Root Borers
We’re looking for a cause behind the abnormal root borer situation.
It’ll take a while to finish this investigation.
Expert Insect Hunter (Points: 40)
Report the removal of Root Borers
While exterminating root borers, we’ve discovered white spot earthworms, which are not indigenous to Azure Wind Island.
We suspect that they have been introduced through visiting ships or their cargoes. This species reproduces quickly, but it does not harm plants.
Veteran Insect Hunter (Points: 80)
Report the removal of Root Borers
The cause of the root borer’s abnormal infestation is the massive population of white spot earthworms. The earthworms reproduce in the nutritious grass fields of Azure Wind Island and provide an abundant supply of food to their predators, the root borers.
Thin out the white spot earthworms and the root borer population will decrease naturally.
