Honeywisps are creatures found in both Pikmin games, about which very little is known. They float across the air carrying an egg (Pikmin 2) or nectar (Pikmin), and tend to glow and make high pitched cries, only appearing if a captain passes nearby to where they reside. A Honeywisp's egg, like any other, 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 is airborne, so it can only be kiled with Pikmin, as Captains cannot reach it. This also makes it impossible to petrify them. If a Pikmin is thrown at one, it vanishes and drops its nectar or egg (meaning mitites could come out), which bursts.
