The '''Honeywisp''' ({{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki|Piki {{w|Aphid}}}}) is a 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 cutie swims though the air with a heavy-looking nectar egg dangling below its translucent body on its way back to its nest where its offspring await lunch. Nectar is a vital source of nutrition that most life on this planet depends on. Whether it's in the form of an egg yolk, sap, or honey, I leave up to your imagination!|block=y}}
===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|The nectar spectre seems to appear out of thin air, and it is able to hover in place with little movement. Large drops of nectar form on the spectre’s tail, and it is uncertain as to whether the fleeting creature secretes the fluid from its transparent body or accumulates the substance via pollination. Appropriately named for its elusive nature, the nectar spectre remains very much a mystery and requires further research. This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest.|block=y}}
{{transcript|Pikmin stop growing once they're uprooted, but you can advance them to the flower stage of development by letting them take a sip of nectar. The golden substance dangles from the tails of honeywisps, and you can force one of the creatures to release its cargo by throwing a Pikmin at it.|block=y}}
===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Power booklet description===
{{transcript|Large drops of nectar form on the tails of honeywisps. Tossing Pikmin at these floating creatures causes them to release their nutrient-rich cargo, which transforms leaf Pikmin into flower Pikmin.|block=y}}
===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Flighty floaters carry eggs that contain nectar. If you can hit a Honeywisp with a lobbed Pikmin, the creature will disappear, but its egg will drop and spill its contents. Honeywisps materialize in an instant and flash away just as quickly. If you want to hit one, you'll have to work quickly.|block=y}}

==Naming==
==Naming==
{{naming
The name "Honeywisp" is a combination of "honey", due to the sack of [[nectar]] it carries in the first game, and "{{w|wisp}}", a mythical entity that resembles a floating lamp's light; effectively, the Honeywisp faintly emits light and floats about. In Japan, the creature is called {{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki}}, which translates to "Pikmin Fuel", with "[[Pikmin family#Naming|Piki]]" being a shortening of "Pikmin", and the "fuel" part referring to the fact that its nectar is a great source of nutrition for the Pikmin.
|common    = Honeywisp. It is a combination of "honey", due to the sack of [[nectar]] it carries in the first game, and "{{w|wisp}}", a mythical entity that resembles a floating lamp's light; effectively, the Honeywisp faintly emits light and floats about.
 
|jpcommon  = {{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki}}. It is similar to {{j|アリマキ|arimaki|{{w|aphid}}|f=tp}}, but with {{j|アリ|ari|ant|f=tp}} replaced with "[[Pikmin family#Naming|Piki]]" (an early name for Pikmin), since the way Pikmin drink the Honeywisps' nectar is similar to how some ants farm aphids and drink their honeydew.
Its scientific name is ''Nektara fatuus'', with ''Nektara'' being close to the Latin ''nectaris'', or "related to nectar", and ''fatuus'' being the Latin word for "silly", perhaps due to its blissfully ignorant nature. Internally, it is called <code>qurione</code>, a romanization of "{{w|clione}}". A clione, or sea angel, is a creature with a transparent body, much like that of the Honeywisp.

*A near-copy of the ''Pikmin 2'' Honeywisp exists [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused inside ''Pikmin 3'']]. It functions identically to the ''Pikmin 2'' counterpart, except throwing a Pikmin at the egg causes ''Pikmin 3'' to instantly [[crash]].
