Ancestor:Descendants:

Moved by the hurricane to Nuke Rainforest, hagulbees found difficulty in protect their nests, which were built on devilvine before and now built on fragile galls of purple flora. These galling species started to search for a new place to build them, piercing different kinds of flora until find the best structure able to hold their eggs. They found it on lightning tree and on its relatives, doing in successful manner, leading hagulbees to small populations on Wright, but not replacing them.

Wuraybees are smaller than its ancestor and developed small changes in the body in order to attach and pierce the bark of trees when building their nests. They do in a similar way to in devilvine but, since lightning trees offer no danger if damaged, they evolved small spikes in the tip of the wings, allowing them to walk over the tree bark. After bite several spots on the tree, they will return and lay some eggs into the budding structures. They have a different display of eyes, with the end one located under the body, letting the cloacae uncovered. In this way, the cloacae can bend and lay eggs into the sprouting bark structures easily, closing it with silk. Their teeth are longer, and keep growing until they reach the adult size.

The tree will form a long pole with a hard bark and a soft core, where the eggs are imprisoned. When hatching, they will eat the soft core and migrate to the gas ball over the pole. It is similar to the hydrogen balls of hydrogen flora, but contains hydrogen in low quantity mixed with hot air. Reaching these structures, wuraybees will dry their wings and try eating the walls. The ball will then detach from the pole and rapidly ascend in the sky, blowing up over to the lightning tree top. Wuraybees can then be carried by winds and learn to fly while falling down.

Wuraybees will find food on the nectar of tobeeflor, where they will land over and drink from the nectar sprouts. They are deluded by the flowers and often will be found over them, trying to reproduce and, with this, helping tobeeflor to be pollinated. Sometimes they will be found galling near to their food sources; however those galls will resemble the devilvine ones.
