0006626: Flying creatures keep exploding into pieces and dying: Are they crashing into trees?
I embarked on a heavy woodland area with plenty of tree's. There are bunch of flying creatures nearby, namely Thrips people and a Giant Moth. While playing normally I get occasional reports which go like:

"The Thrips Woman's right upper leg takes the full force of the impact and the part is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The Thrips woman's first right upper arm takes the full force of the impact and the part is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The Thrips woman's left upper leg takes the full force of the impact and the part is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The Thrips Woman's lower body takes the full force of the impact and the part splits in gore!
The Thrips Woman's right wing takes the full force of the impact and the severed part sails off in an arc!"
etc.

Zooming to location I usually find a mutilated corpse with some body parts and blood nearby. The corpses are on tree's or near them, so I think they're actually crashing into them. I could see that happen like when they're injured or they're falling from the skies rather than flying, but otherwise I dont think its normal behavior.
Embark on heavily forested area where there are flying creatures and just wait. Eventually one of them will probably drop dead.
No tags attached.
