Ancestor:Descendants:

To avoid the flying dart and other insectivores, the twelve-winged worm evolved into the nocturnal moth wingworm. It eats at night while predators and other competition sleep, payed off in the Flisch-Krakow Rainforest. Its two front pair of wings evolved into fuzzy antennae so it can "feel" where it's going with air pressure and sound. The back eyes can still see, but it cannot see very well at night with them. The back pair of wings evolved into the equivalent of tail feathers for stabilization in the air. During the day, they will hide in the leaves of darkpalms or between the balls of treeballs.
