[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Mulder and Scully travel to the remote Washington State National Forest when an entire group of loggers goes missing. Tensions run high when the agents find themselves trapped in the forest with the loggers' security officer and an environmentalist saboteur - all surrounded by the culprit: a huge swarm of green, flesh-eating insects which only attack at night. These insects wrap their human prey in cocoons, and sucks all humidity out of them, effectively hanging them to dry.
