The glassflora sapworm split from its ancestor and moved to Drake Tundra. It has adapted to feed on the sap of glass flora. Its four wings are hidden under the two elytra, to protect them from injuries. They have changed colors to blend in with the glass flora, and their elytra have become reflective to provide further protection. When the swarm finds a group, it will land on the glass flora and stab their sharp tongues into the hosts. Their tongues have developed a thick exoskeleton tip to pierce in between the grooves on the flora. They mate in the summer and lay their eggs at the end of fall, then die. The eggs stay dormant in the winter and then hatch in the spring where they quickly grow. The sticky eggs are laid under the trunks of glass flora so it can suck its sap from the roots when they hatch.
