The '''flutterbie family''' is a family of [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p3}}, {{p4}} and possibly {{hp}}. It consists of small {{w|butterfly}}-like insects that pose no threat to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s. They merely flutter about, occasionally landing, and aren't worth many seeds or [[Poko]]s, but some of them can drop valuable rewards after death: [[nectar]] or a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. Their color indicates what they might drop, if anything. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they can't be interacted with and are not logged, appearing only in cutscenes.

Members of this family belong to the ''Fenestari'' genus.

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]].

The Red Spectralids appears in the [[Garden of Hope]] and a few [[Mission Mode]] stages. Upon defeat, it releases a drop of [[ultra-spicy spray]].

Scientific name: ''Fenestari albaprismatus''


White Spectralids are of a color introduced in ''Pikmin 3''. Unlike the remaining Spectralids, these drop no special rewards when defeated but will sometimes drop a [[raw material]] in ''Pikmin 4''. Seeing as they're only worth one Pikmin seed, they're usually more trouble than they are worth. Nevertheless, they appear near the landing site or an [[Onion]], making them useful if the player wants to help grow an army with minimal exploration.

Yellow Spectralids appear more commonly than Red Spectralids, and upon defeat, they release a drop of nectar. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is found just flying forward, as Pikmin chase it. Eventually it flies off screen.

To note is that, similarly to the Unmarked Spectralids, every time the creatures are referred to in singular, "Spectralids" is used as opposed to "Spectralid" &ndash; unlike {{p2}}, there are sentences that explicitly use the singular form. The [[Electric Spectralid]] is the only creature to break this mold.

The genus ''Fenestari'' is by the Unmarked Spectralids, referring to the Latin word ''fenestra'', meaning "window". This is a [[mistake]], as members of the same genus cannot be in separate families in real-world taxonomy. Additionally, in {{p3d}}, this family had two genera names: ''Fenestari'' for [[White Spectralids]] and [[Yellow Spectralids]], and ''Fenestrati'' for [[Red Spectralids]]. ''Fenestrati'' appears to be a typo as the Red Spectralids were fixed to also belong to the ''Fenestari'' genus in {{p4}}.

All members of this family have the suffix -''prismatus'' at the end of their species names. ''Prismatus'' is derived from "prism", a reference to how triangular prisms can disperse light in a colorful rainbow, similar to the color variety found amongst Spectralids. It also references the species name of the [[Unmarked Spectralids]], which is simply ''prismatus''.
