Ancestor:Descendants:

The cave bulb has replaced its ancestor and moved deeper into the caves. Its now has 8 leaves, helping it to grab the cave wall better. It has a bigger flower than its ancestor, and during mating the flower will open and engulf the entire creature with phosphorescent light to attract the bumblecaveling, the latter comes to it and sip the nectar, thus taking with it genetic materials from the cave bulb. The cave bulb has, by now, lost all its photosynthesis capabilities, and has moved to a full filter feeding diet. This diet eventually made the cave bulb smaller than its ancestor, helping it to preserve energy.
