The '''flutterbie family''' is a family of [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p3}}, {{p4}} and {{hp}}. It consists of small {{w|butterfly}}-like insects that pose no threat to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s. They merely flutter about, occasionally landing, and aren't worth many seeds or [[Poko]]s, but some of them can drop valuable rewards after death: [[nectar]] or a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. Their color indicates what they might drop, if anything. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they can't be interacted with and are not logged, appearing only in cutscenes. | The '''flutterbie family''' is a family of [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p3}}, {{p4}} and {{hp}}.

Members of this family belong to the ''fenestari'' genus. | |||
In other languages of the game, the [[floaterbie family]] has the same name as the flutterbie family, so it is possible to consider that the two are one and the same, and that the English developers gave a different name to the [[Electric Spectralid]]'s family for unknown reasons, or perhaps simply due to a [[mistake]]. | In other languages of the game, the [[floaterbie family]] has the same name as the flutterbie family, so it is possible to consider that the two are one and the same, and that the English developers gave a different name to the [[Electric Spectralid]]'s family for unknown reasons, or perhaps simply due to a [[mistake]]. | ||

To note is that, similarly to the Unmarked Spectralids, every time the creatures are referred to in singular, "Spectralids" is used as opposed to "Spectralid" – unlike {{p2}}, there are sentences that explicitly use the singular form. The [[Electric Spectralid]] is the only creature to break this mold. | To note is that, similarly to the Unmarked Spectralids, every time the creatures are referred to in singular, "Spectralids" is used as opposed to "Spectralid" – unlike {{p2}}, there are sentences that explicitly use the singular form.

The genus ''Fenestari'' is by the Unmarked Spectralids, referring to the Latin word ''fenestra'', meaning "window". . This is a [[mistake]], as members of the same genus cannot be in separate families in real-world taxonomy. Additionally, in {{p3d}}, this family had two genera names: ''Fenestari'' for [[White Spectralids]] and [[Yellow Spectralids]], and ''Fenestrati'' for [[Red Spectralids]]. ''Fenestrati'' appears to be a typo as the Red Spectralids were fixed to also belong to the ''fenestari'' genus in {{p4}}. | |||
