Folioslontopteryx achiensis
Aerialslontus achiensis resulted from egg clutches of Aerialslontus distringa that were carried to Zone H on Megaplortatus sustensa driftwood that flowed in Zone 3 and eventually hit that shoreline. Some of these were able to survive due to the instinct to hang around Megaplortatus coilus, which they acted onto the similarly-looking Plortatus cashmonii and successfully established a new population. Aerialslontus achiensis is identical to Aerialslontus distringa in size and form but has enough genetic isolation to be considered a new species and feeds on Plortatus cashmonii leaves rather than Megaplortatus coilus.
Aerialslontus distringa grow to ten centimeters (10 cm) in length. They reproduce once in the early summer and females have all of their eggs produced by this time so that reproduction only has to occur once. Females will lay clutches of fifteen to twenty (15-20) soft eggs together each month inside the leaves of Plortatus marcops polyphs for protection from the elements. The eggs are not laid together at the same time as a trait from their ancestors so that some eggs would survive in case of a disaster or unfavourable situation.
Aerialslontus achiensis will fly around aimlessly when not feeding in order to find mates (early summer) and to find more healthy Plortatus cashmonii to feed from. Individuals live around two (2) years on average after leaving the egg as their ancestors did not require a long lifespan.
