The short story is about a man who likes to buy exotic pets and one day obtains some kind of alien insect. He puts them in a terrarium with sand and they form, i think, four different little tribes. as he cares for them and such they grow, they war with each other, etc. He has some friends over one day and has the insects face a new threat, i think it was either a very large insect or a small animal. the insects win, however, iirc, his friends are very off put with this display of violence. Eventualy they get bigger and bigger, and at some point he attacks them, and they regard him as an evil god. Finaly, the insects escape from his house and move into the outside world, where they eventual capture and possibly kill him.
The short story was found inside a book of short stories with an exotic green alien female, sitting profile to the reader.
