#tw apiophobia

My first thought had been bees, because I'd looked at a lot of bees at work and honestly fuzzy bee clones would be very fun (did you know that some species of longhorn bee will do slumber parties on plants at night?). They'd be fluffy for sure. But then I went "no the Kaminoans would probably go for something more aggressive and predatory." Wasps are neat too, but some hornet species in particular have evolved to raid in groups, so they seemed most appropriate.

To be honest, I don't know how much of the armor is actually a chitinous exoskeleton; I was mostly drawing off vibes. They've got electric stingers that work well against droids (the stinger is likely formed of a material strong enough to puncture metal, at least to some extent). The wings are also based on hornet wings, but I added a couple features based on beetle wings because I think it'd be neat if they could also fold (though I'm not sure the particular shape and venation I put here would actually work), especially to fit in a jetpack-like shell.
