| - | |description= | + | |description=Spattered a sanguine red on deep crimson, this thich-bodied bee is approximately one thum long, with a slightly shorter wingspan. A single one-use barbed stinger depends from the posterior abdomen, and its sharp proboscis has evolved into a hardened protrusion capable of penetrating thick hides and skin. Specimens which have not recently fed are a darker maroon, and far less thick-bodied. |

|notes= More fly than bee, it makes a blood wine instead of honey, gathering blood from freshly dead or even living creatures. Its wicked sting and vicious bites draw the source for its secretion, which ferments in a conical hive. | |notes= More fly than bee, it makes a blood wine instead of honey, gathering blood from freshly dead or even living creatures.
