The tunnel xenobee split from its ancestor, the xenobee. It has specified in eating the nectar of the hugograss. It has to become smaller and learn how to fly underground. Since the hugograss grow in subterranean tunnels it must maneuver through tight tunnels. It is now brown in color to blend in with the dirt and it has developed a shovel-like exoskeleton plate on its butt to scoop dirt away if it gets trapped.
Tunnel Xenobees build hives just like their ancestors, but they build them underground in already dig tunnels. The cloaca has lip-like appendages. When copulating, they cloacally kiss each other to pass reproductive material.
