Sandfly
Template:QuoteBox Template:Charbox Sandfly is a female HiveWing and one of the flamesilk guards at Wasp Hive.
Appearance
Sandfly has pale yellow scales and is speckled everywhere with tiny black spots, like a swarm of flies in the desert[1].
Biography
Sandfly makes her appearance in The Lost Continent when she forces Admiral to supply his daily Flamesilk. After he is done, Admiral introduces Blue to Sandfly, and the uninterested HiveWing guard remarks that he is very young. When Blue asks what happened to the dragons who stole the Book of Clearsight (Cricket and Sundew) Sandfly becomes shocked and shouts at him that that never happened, nobody would dare, and why would Blue say such traitorous things. Blue realizes that Queen Wasp must not have told her subjects about the incident, and he "corrects" himself saying that the thieves obviously failed. Sandfly is relieved and mentions that she didn't hear about an execution yesterday, so maybe today or tomorrow. Blue realizes that Sandfly just assumed that Cricket and Sundew were captured because of Queen Wasp's ablility to mind-control HiveWings, and doesn't know about Cricket's immunity to the mind control; and she also assumed that any dragons who tried to steal the Book wold be immediately executed.
Trivia
- Sandfly is a term for any flying insect that sucks blood, the HiveWing's namesake.
