Ancestor:Descendants:

The marsh phlyer split from its ancestor, the beach phlyer and now live in symbiosis with the pollen hive in Krakow Marsh and Krakow River. The pollen hive's fruit has moved into a "pod" and in order to get to the fruit the marsh phlyer has to use their long tounge, which they inherited from their ancestor, to search inside the pod and pull out fruit. Wilst the marsh phlyer does this it also get alot of pollen stuck on its face which is then used to fertilize the next pollen hive it will visit.

The marsh phlyer has, like all other phlyers, strong colouration. The colours are important for the females wilst choosing a mate, the males will dance for their partners trying to impress them with both colouration and their tail-sails aswell as using their butt-nostril to "toot". The marsh phlyers feet are different from their ancestor, as there no longer is any sand to walk on the "pillow" on their feet dissapeared and instead they now have rather large feet to prevent them from sinking into the marsh. They have larger wings than their ancestor to collect more sunlight.
