Hoarding Stringfly

The Hoarding Stringfly is an insect debuting in Pikmin: Spark. They are the adult form of the Thieving Whiskerpillar. They have blue bodies, cyan wings with indigo spots, and teal tongue. Dwelling exclusively in underground dens made out of silk and dirt, they live with their larval stages and work together to collect food and other items for the den. They only spawn in the outdoors naturally if a sufficient number of their larval member perishes by your hands. Otherwise they stay in the dens tending to the food the group collects. Their silk is unique in the it hardens in the air meaning that if they spray it on Pikmin they will become crushed from the silk. The silk can be destroyed by non trapped Pikmin and Rock Pikmin are immune to the silk's crushing effects making them ideal choices for this creature. They sometimes drop Ultra-Bitter Sprays.
