As mentioned earlier, in the book Hothouse by
Brian W. Aldiss, plants have evolved into future Earth’s chief intelligence
while humans have devolved into smaller, less intelligent beings. Their green
skin serves to camouflage them against predators but nonetheless cunning
“Fly-men” are depicted here in the act of kidnapping children, stealing them
from their mother’s desperate clutches. The castle structure in the background
was built by evolved termites. The Fly-men live to serve these termites and the
children they steal are destined to end up as nutrition for the termite larvae.
