The plyent sapworm split from its ancestor, the shellwinged punctureworm. It has changed its diet from black flora sap to plyent sap. They are social creatures who travel in swarms to plyent grove to plyent grove along the western beaches of Drake and Darwin. They use their sharp tongue to puncture the hard trunk of chunky plyents. Their favorite spot is around the spore hole since it has less insulation. They have 2 pairs of wings hidden within their protective "wing shell". The holes above their mouth allow them to smell out food. They have a row of yellow eyes on the top of their abdomens and a cloaca at the end for mating. 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 on the trunks of chunky plyents so it can suck its sap when they hatch.
They also have developed a "shelled wing" which protects their 2 back wings when landing on plyents. Not only will this help keep their wings protected, but also protects them from small predators. The wings sit on either side of the body so its "back eyes" can still see even when its closed. They never need to drink because they get all their water from the sap they drink. In addition they need very little water to survive.
