Honeywisp

Honeywisps are creatures that float across the air, carrying nectar or an egg. They appear and disappear out of thin air if a leader passes nearby set places where they can show.

In Pikmin 251
Honeywisps appear in Pikmin 251. Their behavior is unchanged from how they are in.

In Pikmin Forever
In Pikmin Forever, Honeywisps do not appear suddenly out of thin air, but appear wandering around an area, appearing upon entry there. Honeywisps have a more notable membrane surrounding them, appearing more jelly-like. They also give off a dim pink glow in dark areas. Upon encountering the borders of an area, they make a very wide U-turn, sometimes even going out of bounds. Upon encountering a wall during the U-turn, they turn back and wander around in a random line again. If it is hit with a Pikmin, it splatters and drops its egg, which may contain nectar or Mitites. If a Winged Pikmin latches onto it, it brings the Honeywisp down to the ground, where its egg breaks to reveal its contents, and its body is left behind without the jelly membrane. The body can not be salvaged for metal but it does give a meager two Pikmin seeds when brought to an Onion.

In Pikmin: The After Years
In Pikmin: The After Years, the Honeywisp is the same as it is in Pikmin: Redemption, being able to yield nectar and every spray.

In Pikmin: New World
In Pikmin: New World, Honeywisps can carry around large fruits, which may contain either nectar, sprays, or Mitites. They do not carry potions, though, as Sugarslicks do so and with a slight chance of carrying Squitters instead. They reappear even after they are killed, but are also rarer than in. They are quicker too, which Olimar thinks may be due to the fact that they now carry fruit instead of eggs. Their larvae and nest are also seen for the first time in this game.

In Pikmin: The Pollution
The Honeywisp in Pikmin: The Pollution is not an enemy, but more of an ally. They drop nectar, neswete, which is honey, and berries, eggs, and potions. They can not be killed, as Pikmin slip off them. They appear in all areas and dungeons.

In Pikmin: Redemption
Honeywisps in Pikmin: Redemption can, in addition to nectar, drop all of the new and existing sprays.
