Shimmerwing

Shimmerwings were a of large flying s. They were native to the  Neroth.

Characteristics
Shimmerwings were large insects, growing up to 2.5 to 3 s in length. They had long, thin segmented bodies covered in an iridescent  that was seafoam  to blue in color. Shimmerwings were so named due to their four wings, which were transparents and shimmered with color when they moved. They possessed six, with which they could land and walk upon. Their heads were dominated by a pair of compound s and mandibles.

Shimmerwings, when mature, were almost exclusively airborne in behavior. They swooped down from the sky to snatch prey up in their jaws or trap them with their legs to carry them off. During mating seasons, they descended to shallow waters, tidepools, sandbars, or mountain jungles to mate. A notable spawning ground was in the Coral Sea. Their legs were covered by countless fine hairs which enabled them to land and walk upon the water's surface, while hydrofuge hairs all over their bodies protected them from rain, spray, and waves. Shimmerwing larva were completely aquatic, living in shallow water until they matured and took to the skies. When flying, their wings produced a high pitched ringing sound. They were adept fliers, fast and agile, and were able to hover and maneuver deftly.

The insects were omnivorous, capable of eating nearly anything. They fed upon plant matter and fruit as readily as they preyed upon other, smaller creatures. They could snatch birds from the air and fish from the water, as well as smaller lizards or insects from trees. They were not aggressive or vicious and generally left individuals alone unless provoked. Shimmerwings had the honor of being the largest terrestrial species on Neroth.

Behind the scenes
Shimmerwings drew inspiration from the extinct genus of insects known as meganeura.
