The '''Honeywisp''' ({{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki|Piki {{w|Aphid}}}}) is a [[Enemy|creature]] found in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Honeywisps float across the air carrying [[nectar]] (in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'') or an [[egg]] (in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''), and tend to glow and make high pitched cries, appearing and disappearing out of thin air if a [[leader]] passes nearby set places where they can show. A Honeywisp's egg, like any other, may contain [[nectar]], a [[spray drop]], or [[Mitite]]s.

{{Transcript|This creature does not fly through the air with wings, but instead floats by using what is known as reaction plasma. They transport plasma-coagulated nectar for the larvae in their nests. They typically live underground, emerging only when transporting nectar. Because they utilize plasma, they emit a distinctive sound as they fly up from underground.

== Behavior ==
==Behavior==
Honeywisps appear only when approached and disappear after a short amount of time. They float a considerable distance above the ground at a slow pace, and they take no note of the presence of leaders or Pikmin, unless attacked, at which point they will feverishly drop their nectar or egg and vanish. They are frequently found grouped in a general area, though not all will be activated at the same time.

The Honeywisp is a constantly airborne enemy. As such, it can only be killed with [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. If a Pikmin is [[throw]]n at one, it will vanish and drop its nectar. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are your best option due to their high throwing arc. When trying to take down a Honeywisp or a group of Honeywisps, its usually fine to throw quickly with less precision to take them down, as there is no risk in fighting them unless other creatures are nearby.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the Honeywisp can actually be killed with an [[Ice Blast]] as it will die upon falling into the ground in a frozen state.
