Blades of tall grass part, and reveal creatures that look like mouse-sized ants, except with three extra legs, and two enormous sets of pincers. There are scores... no, hundreds of them that he can see, and probably still more behind. They're probably the scavengers of this jungle, essential to the ecosystem, that pick clean carcasses... and probably also animals that are too sick or weak to outrun them.
They click their pincers together. It's a horrible, rattling noise. What's worse, he thinks he can hear it from the branches hanging above, too. They're everywhere. ]
