Plated Xenobee

The plated xenobee replaced its ancestor the xenobee in Krakow Scrub. It was so successful that it also caused the Bambelin to become extinct in Krakow Scrub as well. The secret to its success was its thick exoskeleton and longer tongue. Being heavily armored mean predators such as the flying dart and darbola could not eat them as easily. The longer tongue also meant it could get to more nectar than the other nectarivores. It has also specialized in drinking the nectar of the scrub flowerworm since all other flowering flora have been taken up by other specialists. The plated xenobees build hives just like their ancestors and typically build them on the trunk of the scrub flowerworm. When copulating, they cloacally kiss each other to pass reproductive material.
