The exudate which forms on the mane hairs of the Golden
Beetle, which had overcome me in the close confines of the tunnel, apparently
has a most intense and, to a human mind, almost incomprehensibly compelling
effect on the unusually sensitive antennae of Priest-Kings, luring them
helplessly, almost as if hypnotized, to the jaws of the Beetle, who then
penetrates their body with its hollow, pincerlike jaws and drains it of body
fluid.
Misk's Priest-Kings began to leave their hiding places and their posts of
vantage and come into the streets, their bodies inclining forward, their
antennae dipped in the direction of the lure of the Beetles. The Priest-Kings
themselves have nothing, explained nothing, to their dumbfounded human
companions but merely laid aside their weapons and approached the Beetles.
