Metalmite

Metalmites were small insects that were made primarily of metal themselves. Grouping in swarms that were commanded by a queen or an empress, these insects would devastate installations using powerful biological enzymes to dissolve raw metals and then consume it. Presumably part of the dissolved metals would be incorporated into their body which might explain why they themselves are made of metal. Metalmites would often make loud humming noises when they were present in a swarm with a different pitch separating the different swarm broods. It was quite common for the different broods to wage wars against one another.
