'''Honeywisps''' ({{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki|Pikmin {{w|Aphid}}}}) are creatures found in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. They float across the air carrying [[nectar]] (in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'') or an [[egg]] (in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''), 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.

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!

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 Aphid", with "[[Pikmin family#Naming|Piki]]" being a shortening of "Pikmin", and "aphid" referring to real-life {{w|aphid}}s, since some ants farm these creatures 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.
