The jumping finworm replaced its ancestor. It has become slightly smaller, but its wings have grown relatively larger, as has the lower part of its tail. It still swims in the same way as its ancestors, putting its wings close to the body to be more hydrodynamic. To escape predators like the spitting shocker, it will jump out of the water, unfold its wings and glide through the air. It will do multiple short glides in quick succession, 'bouncing' over the water. This technique also helps when swimming upstream. While jumping, the lower part of its tail will stay in the water for steering, except when fleeing from a particularly persistent predator. Then it will jump higher to avoid being followed. It still migrates from Huggs Coast up the Huggs and Bone Rivers to Huggs Lakes, where it spawns its eggs in the mud and dies. The hatchlings stay at the lakes until they are adults. Then they will migrate back to Huggs Coast.
