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."

Notes

Reel notes

“This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest.”

Olimar's notes

“This floating life-form drifts effortlessly on the winds. Upon death, its physical structure instantly collapses, and as the 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...”

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!”

Strategy

The Honeywisp is a constantly airborne enemy. As such, it can only be killed with Pikmin. This also makes it impossible to petrify successfully. If a Pikmin is thrown at one, it will vanish and drop it's nectar or egg, which breaks upon impact.
