Jumping Nymph
A branch of off Foliumnympheus foliumicroeus, F. subsultus (Jumping Nymph) has adapted to live in and flourish within the river system of zone 16. Due to the nature of a river system, this organism has altered its body configuration to have its longer end oriented towards the river bottom. It uses a small net as well as the rest of its body to capture silt and collect required minerals that flow through the river.
In order to increase distribution throughout the river system, the jumping nymph has developed larger leaf-wings to increase energy supplies and force produced with each flap. The nerve clustered existent for eyes from F. foliumicroeus would now form vestigial structures and serve other purposes, removing usable eyes. These nerves run the length of the main body along both sides, if these nerves detect a rotation degree greater than 45 degrees they cause the leaf-wings to flap once. This would allow F. subsultus to ascend the river current and populate the entire surface of the river.
Reproduction:
Though they reproduce primarily in the same way as F. foliumicroeus, they also have developed rudimentary reproductive structures. Being hermaphroditic, when sexually reproducing, they release gametes from their net structures into the river to mingle as is possible.
Size:
Due to the increase of leaf-wing size the jumping nymph is slightly larger than their oceanic predecessors, their range being 190u – 250u (micrometers).
Development:
After fertilization, young develop resembling small adults until they reach their final size. Their growth is determinate based on genetics.
