Ancestor:Descendants:

The limestone wingworm split from its ancestor, the clear-wing worm. It has moved to Badger Limestone Caves where it eats the calciutine that grows all over the cave walls. Like its ancestor its mouth has retractable spikes which scrape off food from the walls. Their coloration are now white and green to blend in with the white calciutine and the green limestone. Their eyes on their back have gotten larger so they can see in the dim light of the cave.
