Unmarked Spectralid

Unmarked Spectralids are insects that resemble small butterflies with wings colored either red, yellow, or purple. They are completely harmless, and do nothing but flutter around. Aboveground, they hide in specific patches of plants and appear upon being disturbed, though in some caves they are readily visible; they gradually fly up and away sometime after Pikmin and leaders come within range of them. Their color indicates what they drop when killed, yellow ones dropping nectar, red ones dropping ultra-spicy spray nectar, and purple ones dropping ultra-bitter spray nectar. These creatures are so delicate that, if touched by a single Pikmin, they will instantly collapse and die.
