Template:SpoilerTPJThe BeetleWings founded Pantala along with the LeafWings, and were eventually bred out of existence due to the arrival of Clearsight, splitting into the HiveWings and SilkWings around 4500 AS. They were first mentioned in The Poison Jungle.

Description

They were said to look similar to SilkWings, having four wings (like a HiveWing also) and a pair of antennas. It is presumed that they also had some of a HiveWing’s features, considering that they were identifiable as the tribe's ancestors[1]. In The Lost Continent, Clearsight noted that BeetleWings had four wings that resembled the wings of dragonflies, beetles (hence the name BeetleWings), or butterflies.

Abilities

Like their HiveWing descendants, some BeetleWings had insect-like powers. They possibly had antennae as in The Lost Continent Cricket said the HiveWings used to have them. Their ability to shoot venom from their fangs was mentioned, as well as flamesilk[2]. When Princess Tsunami arrived in the Poison Jungle, she heard about these powers and connected them to the RainWing tribe back on Pyrrhia.

Names

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