Synopsis:
Hawk travels to South America to meet the Arachnid, an insect terrorist who is angry about development encroaching on the rain forest. Hawk meets Lupe, a human girl who can communicate with the insects and acts as their queen. She is able to bring Hawk to her side. Hawk then combats the developers and their mercenary allies. Using a hallucinagenic compound delivered by bees, Hawk is able to stop the mercenaries and, at least temorarily, halt the development of the rain forest.
