|'''Scientific Name''' || '''''Nektara fatuus'''''
The '''Honeywisp''' ({{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki|Piki {{w|Aphid}}}}) is a [[Enemy|creature]] found in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Honeywisps float across the air carrying [[nectar]] (in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'') or an [[egg]] (in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''), and tend to glow and make high pitched cries, appearing and disappearing out of thin air if a [[leader]] passes nearby set places where they can show. A Honeywisp's egg, like any other, may contain [[nectar]], a [[spray drop]], or [[Mitite]]s.

==Stats==
'''Honeywisps''' are very mysterious creatures. Very little is known about them. When they die, they vanish suddenly. They tend to glow and make high pitched cries. They float across the air carrying some egg, possibly its young (although in the first game, they carried raw drops of nectar). You will find them if you pass through the spot or foliage where they reside. Simply throw your Pikmin at them to make them drop the egg and it will burst. The contents may contain [[nectar]], [[spray]], or [[Mitite|Mitites]]. Mitites are found in their eggs because of their parasitic characteristics. These enemies cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]].

==Notes==
=== Olimar's Notes ===
The floating life-form drifts effortlessly on the winds. Upon death, its
physical structure instantly collapses, and as this creature is particularly
elusive and difficult to catch, no sample specimens have been acquired as of
yet. If we could simply recover a live sample, research on this species would
likely proceed more smoothly...


{{Notes|reel=y|olimar=y|louie=y|voyage=y}}
=== Louie's Notes ===
Although the eggs are small, the yolk has a distinctly bold and
tangy flavor. Try tossing a few in a pan along with your choice of meat and
fresh vegetables and cook up a country scramble!


=== Dalmo's notes ===
[[Category:Harmless Enemies]]
{{Transcript|This cutie swims through the air with a heavy-looking nectar egg dangling below its translucent body on its way back to its nest where its offspring await lunch. Nectar is a vital source of nutrition that most life on this planet depends on. Whether it's in the form of an egg yolk, sap, or honey, I leave up to your imagination!|block=y}}

===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|The nectar spectre seems to appear out of thin air, and it is able to hover in place with little movement. Large drops of nectar form on the spectre’s tail, and it is uncertain as to whether the fleeting creature secretes the fluid from its transparent body or accumulates the substance via pollination. Appropriately named for its elusive nature, the nectar spectre remains very much a mystery and requires further research. This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest.|block=y}}
 
{{transcript|Pikmin stop growing once they're uprooted, but you can advance them to the flower stage of development by letting them take a sip of nectar. The golden substance dangles from the tails of honeywisps, and you can force one of the creatures to release its cargo by throwing a Pikmin at it.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Power booklet description===
{{transcript|Large drops of nectar form on the tails of honeywisps. Tossing Pikmin at these floating creatures causes them to release their nutrient-rich cargo, which transforms leaf Pikmin into flower Pikmin.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Flighty floaters carry eggs that contain nectar. If you can hit a Honeywisp with a lobbed Pikmin, the creature will disappear, but its egg will drop and spill its contents. Honeywisps materialize in an instant and flash away just as quickly. If you want to hit one, you'll have to work quickly.|block=y}}
 
==Behavior==
Honeywisps appear only when approached and disappear after a short amount of time. They float a considerable distance above the ground at a slow pace, and they take no note of the presence of leaders or Pikmin, unless attacked, at which point they will feverishly drop their nectar or egg and vanish. They are frequently found grouped in a general area, though not all will be activated at the same time.
 
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
The Honeywisp is a constantly airborne enemy. As such, it can only be killed with [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. If a Pikmin is [[throw]]n at one, it will vanish and drop its nectar. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are your best option due to their high throwing arc. When trying to take down a Honeywisp or a group of Honeywisps, its usually fine to throw quickly with less precision to take them down, as there is no risk in fighting them unless other creatures are nearby.
 
Neither White nor Purple Pikmin are especially effective against this creature, and it cannot be petrified in any way.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', the Honeywisp can actually be killed with an [[Ice Blast]] as it will die upon falling into the ground in a frozen state.

==Naming==
{{naming
|common    = Honeywisp. It is a combination of "honey", due to the sack of [[nectar]] it carries in the first game, and "{{w|wisp}}", a mythical entity that resembles a floating lamp's light; effectively, the Honeywisp faintly emits light and floats about.
|jpcommon  = {{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki}}. It is similar to {{j|アリマキ|arimaki|{{w|aphid}}|f=tp}}, but with {{j|アリ|ari|ant|f=tp}} replaced with "[[Pikmin family#Naming|Piki]]" (an early name for Pikmin), since the way Pikmin drink the Honeywisps' nectar is similar to how some ants farm aphids and drink their honeydew.
|jpname    = {{j|ピキマキミツムシ|Piki Maki Mitsu Mushi|Piki Aphid Nectar Bug}}
|scientific = ''Nektara fatuus''. ''Nektara'' is close to the Latin ''nectaris'', or "related to nectar", and ''fatuus'' being the Latin component of the term ''ignis fatuus'', another name for the {{w|will-o'-the-wisp}}, a similarly ephemeral floating creature.
|internal  = Internally, it is called <code>qurione</code>, a romanization of "{{w|clione}}". A clione, or sea angel, is a creature with a transparent body, much like that of the Honeywisp. In ''Pikmin 4'' its internal name is <code>KURIONE</code>.

==Trivia==
*Although the Honeywisp cannot be killed, it still has a health value of '''99999''' in ''Pikmin 2'''s files.
*A near-copy of the ''Pikmin 2'' Honeywisp exists [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused inside ''Pikmin 3'']]. It functions identically to the ''Pikmin 2'' counterpart, except throwing a Pikmin at the egg causes ''Pikmin 3'' to instantly [[crash]].
