[ WP ] Aliens invade Earth , only to be repelled by the wildlife

Day one on the blue and green orb in the Jialta quadrant of the Whirler galaxy had been mostly uneventful. They had landed just before dawn in a remote patch of what the locals called `` Minnesota''. They had been waiting all week for a brutal electrical storm to pass through the area and it looked like it was finally going to clear. The rest of the ground force would land tomorrow night and they would start their offensive immediately there after. 
 
 Kalupta was in charge of securing the landing zone and setting up the stealth field generators so that the troop carriers could land completely undetected. He grumbled about the cargo hold pulling out all of his equipment that he would need to set up for the night operation when he caught the atmospheric display out of the corner of his eye, `` 100 % confirmed hospitable'' it read in bold green letters. `` Well that's a relief'' Kalupta grumbled to himself, `` Glad I did n't make this 230 light year trip just to wear a full EV suit all day and night'' 
 
 Kalupta's home planet received some interesting transmissions from this seemingly defenseless little planet nearly 30 years ago concerning the `` Hooomans'' becoming dangerously close to developing faster than light technology. It had taken the Fawcaw almost 25 years to get to `` Earth'' in hopes of subjugating the planet before the Hooomans managed to succeed in passing through the spacial rifts that linked their world with many others. Kalupta laughed to himself `` These silly Hooomans are so close to the answer that an adolescent Fawcaw would be able to supply them with the failure in their equation''. 
 
 With the light from Sol shining bright Kalupta decided to open the hatch and begin his work without his EV suit on. The risks, he decided, were at worst marginal. Kalupta trudged through the dense forest for a few hours and had worked up quite the sweat. It was nearly 90 degrees Fahrenheit according to local broadcasts which was much hotter than temperatures felt on Fawcaw Prime which rarely exceeded half that. 
 
 His work done for the day and the star beginning to set behind the horizon Kalupta was finally beginning to enjoy the weather as it cooled off for the night. He commed his superiors in the fleet to dispatch the troop carriers. A mere three minutes later he would be dead and he had n't seen, heard, or felt a thing. 
 
 After failing to gain Kalupta on comm for landing, the craft circled the small shuttle used by him to survey the area. Seeing nothing in the vicinity and no sign of Kalupta the Fawcaw feared that their surprise landing was no longer a surprise. In an effort for an expedient mission the commander ordered all of his troops to forgo to the EV suits and to search for Kalupta quickly and to find his captors and kill them. 
 
 The aliens made it less than 50 yards from the ship before they were swarmed by pesky tiny humming insects that seemed to be out for blood. It was the shortest offensive of all time as 1400 elite ground occupying landing force members perished, the desensitizing saliva of the Minnesota state bird paralyzed their complex neurological system causing them all to convulse and die in short order.
