In the v15 update, one of the new hot items was a Bee wing, Bumble body and a Bees effect. The Bee wing is pretty obvious. The Bumble body was a bee body, which is also kinda obvious. The Bees effect had little bees flying out of your Papillon bug. Butterflies that had all 3 items together looked so cool!
It has been many months since v15 came out, and you still don't see that many bee type butterflies out. You almost never see one with all 3. Something else that is a very rare sight, is the bee items on fireflies and dragonflies! Yes, they are all out there for the fireflies and dragonflies as well.
I have had the Bee wing firefly for a while, but never had much luck breeding it, having only 1 or 2 Bee wing offspring. I had never seen the Bumble body for firefly before and was starting to think it wasn't real. I was talking with a fellow firefly breeder a few weeks ago about the Bumble body. That breeder actually had some and was kind enough to pass one to me. The Bumble body is just so perfect for the firefly body. I instantly dug out the Bee wing firefly and paired them up together to try and get a Bee wing with Bumble body.
Firefly breeding pair:
Bee (female) + Bumble (male)
Bee is a light blue firefly with the Bee wing. Bumble is a navy blue guy with Bumble body. Unfortunately he also has Peacock wings, which may over ride the Bee wing when passing on mutations. They are not related. If I do not get a Bumble body with Bee wing from this pair up, I will continue to try for that using their offspring. Siblings will have a better chance with passing mutations. I would love to have an Eternal Bee wing firefly with a Bumble body, but sadly, that is impossible. Eternal is actually a body trait, and you can't have 2 traits in the same slot. So, when i get a firefly with both traits on it, I will just keep trying to breed a 2 traiter and just let it live out it's life in my garden. :) (I will do the same with the Rainbow body fireflies since you can not make them Eternal either)
Now, I'm not a big fan of the Papillon dragonflies. It has nothing to do with them being dragonflies, or how they look. That's all fine... In general, they are fine. My problem is that all the dragonflies I've ever had, have sucked. They have been a stubborn bunch, never passing on many traits at all and just giving me ho-hum plain dragonflies. I'm not opposed to having a cool dragonfly when I see it for sale. And that's how I ended up with the very cool Bee wing dragonfly and the Bumble body Bees effect dragonfly. Trying to breed them together to get one dragonfly with all traits. :) So cute with that bumble body!
Dragonfly breeding pair:
IndigoBee(female) + Honey (male)
IndigoBee is a purple dragonfly with Bee wings. Honey is a male dragonfly with the Bumble body and the Bees effect. I'm not sure if they are related or not? They might be, the both came from the same seller.
