Editing Floaterbie family

{{game icons|hp=y}}

The '''floaterbie family''' is a family of species that appears in {{hp}} only. So far, this family is made of only one species, the [[Electric Spectralid]]. Electric Spectralids have the ''Fenestari'' genus like most members of the [[flutterbie family]].

In other languages of the game, the floaterbie family has the same name as the flutterbie family, so it is possible to consider that the two are one and the same, and that the English developers gave a different name to the Electric Spectralid's family for unknown reasons, or perhaps simply due to a [[mistake]].

{{main|Electric Spectralid}}

Scientific name: ''Fenestari luminescens''

Electric Spectralids are creatures that appear in {{hp}}. While it looks like a regular [[Spectralids]], this creature produces light with its body, and will dive bomb into Olimar if it spots him. The Electric Spectralid does not pose a threat to Pikmin, as it is only found in a level with [[Yellow Pikmin]] exclusively.

== Naming ==
The name of the floaterbie family closely resembles that of the [[Flitterbie family|flitterbie]] and [[Flutterbie family|flutterbie]] families, but with the first syllable replaced with "float" to reflect the way the Electric Spectralid floats in the air with its wings.

Members have the ''Fenestari'' genus, referring to the Latin word "fenestra", meaning "window". This is genus shared by other Spectralids. This is a [[mistake]], as members of the same genus cannot be in separate families in real-world taxonomy.
