BeetleWings

Template:SpoilerTPJBeetleWings are an extinct tribe that founded Pantala along with the LeafWings. They were eventually bred out of existence due to the arrival of Clearsight, and split into the HiveWings and SilkWings. They were first mentioned in The Poison Jungle.

Description

They were said to look similar to SilkWings, having four wings and antennae. It is presumed that they also had some HiveWing features, considering that they were identifiable as the tribe's ancestors. They possibly have annetans.

Abilities

Like their HiveWing descendants, some BeetleWings had insect-like powers. They possibly had antennas, becase in The Lost Continent, Cricket said the HiveWings used to have them (antennas). Their ability to shoot venom from their fangs is mentioned in particular, as well as flamesilk.

Names

Though there were only five named BeetleWing individuals (four of them being hybrids), all of them were named after species of butterfly.
