BeetleWings were described to have four wings like butterflies, beetles, or dragonflies. It is possible that they had antennae, since [[Cricket]] mentioned that HiveWings possessed antennae at one point. All known BeetleWings had bright colors, similar to SilkWings. Only two pure blooded BeetleWings have been mentioned in the series so far: [[Sunstreak]] and a small purple BeetleWing dragonet Clearsight saw in a vision. When hatched, BeetleWings grow up without wings for a few years, then get them later (much like SilkWings).
