Talk:Unmarked Spectralids

Hmm, noone's discussed these yet. I just wanted to say I find it interesting how these are almost, if not completly, identical to butterflys. If the "unknown planet" is earth, why have these barely changed at all, when everything else is pretty much unrecognizible? I've also been thinking that maybe ravenous whiskerpillars mature into some odd creature that releases these, and these fertilise the adults, much like pollen does for plants and gametes do for cnidaria(jellyfish, anemones and such). And on the other hand, they might mature into honeywisps... --Pikiwizard 01:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

If there's no evolutionary drive to change their appearance, it's likely they'll go on looking the same. Horseshoe crabs have remained relatively unchanged for some thousands of years, and sharks and crocodiles haven't changed much either. And even though Unmarked Spectralids are a fair bit smaller than modern butterflies, they aren't the only things that resemble real-world animals. The plants, especially, are nearly identical to real-world plants. —Jimbo Jambo
