Honeywisps are very mysterious creatures found in both Pikmin games. 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 an egg or nectar. They are found if Olimar walks through the spot or foliage where they reside. Simply throw Pikmin at them to make them drop the egg and it will burst. The contents may contain nectar, spray, or Mitites. Mitites are found in their eggs because of their parasitic characteristics. These enemies cannot be petrified.
Pikmin is the only game where Honeywisps are seen carrying nectar. In Pikmin 2, they carry eggs, which may contain nectar, a spray drop, or mitites.
Ship Log
"This timid creature flies around collecting nectar from flowers. It typically hides itself, but shaking flowers can reveal its presence. The nectar it collects appears to be the Pikmin's favorite food. They instantly bloom when they eat it."

Strategy
The Honeywisp can only be kiled with Pikmin, as Captains cannot reach this airborne enemy. One Pikmin can kill it if you hit the Egg it holds.
