White Spectralids are small butterfly creatures in Pikmin 3. They have white wings, very fuzzy bodies, red eyes and two small feet they use to stand on things. They are very aesthetic, and will fly around any level and land on almost any surface, usually flowers, Pellet Posies, or the eyes or back of a sleeping Bulborb.

Unlike other Spectralids, this type of Flitterbie drops nothing. To compensate, it is found near the landing site and the blue Onion, meaning their retrieval doesn't normally take much time. This is a good (albeit slow) way for players to farm seeds without needing to stray away into more dangerous zones.

Notes

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide

This article or section needs to be cleaned up, either its format or general style. Notes: Isn't that a typo on the first four words?

"The White Spectralids is a harmless flying creature. Unless Pikmin cultivation is your priority, it's usually best to ignore these enemies.

If you choose to attack a White Spectralids, use Winged Pikmin to defeat the creature with ease. If that's not an option, wait for the White Spectralids to land, then toss a single Pikmin onto its back."

Strategy

Any type of Pikmin can be thrown directly at a White Spectralids to defeat it instantly. You must, however, remain a considerable distance away from the creature, as it will fly away if any captain gets too close; this is not a problem for Winged Pikmin, as they will give chase, making them the best option for defeating these creatures.
