Folioslontopteryx distringa

From OurFoodChain

Aerialslontus distringa is a descendant of Aerialslontus odonta that has switched from feeding on the leaves of Megaplortatus sustensa to feeding on those of Megaplortatus coilus. This is to avoid competition with the ever-diversifying flying musculates in its range.

Aerialslontus distringa has taken a browner hue as camouflage to avoid attacks from the more aggressive Sukalensis purpla that take over the Megaplortatus sustensa trees. Parts of the wings that were previously brown in color have switched to a green in color to look like leaves.

The tail notches have changed for more airstreamed flight. The top notch has become a fin-like structure on the tail and the bottom notch extends the tail and acts as another false leaf. The differences in the flight wings are more subtle, but they are slightly spaced vertically from eachother to allow a larger range for movement.

Aerialslontus distringa max out at 10 centimeters in length and can fly up to 20 mph. They reproduce once in the early summer, and females will lay between 15 and 20 eggs per month under Megaplortatus coilus leaves in their prime. Individuals usually live no longer than a year.
