Butcherbug/Legends

Butcherbugs were a very small crustaceal arachnid species native to Dagobah.
==Description==
Butcherbugs lived in the lower parts of Dagobah's jungle, spinning very sharp, micro-fine webs between fallen branches and tree roots (including the roots of adult gnarltrees) to snare and slice prey, like Jubba Birds, to bits. The web was so sharp that it was invisible to the naked Human eye. Because of their small size, butcherbugs were prey for a number of larger species, such as lesser bogwings. Covered in a bright green chitinous shell, the butcherbug's two interlocking mandibles could be used to pick up and tear flesh.
A similar species of butcherbugs were found on Lok, as the pirate captain Nym complained of having to wipe the arachnids from the windscreen of his starfighter, Havoc.
