Yellow Spectralids (キシジミ?, lit.: "YellowLycaenid") are smallbutterflyenemies inPikmin 3 andPikmin 4. They have yellow wings, very fuzzy, white bodies, purple eyes and two small feet they use to stand on things. InPikmin 3 they will fly around at any height and land on almost any surface, from flowers toBulborbs. In this game they also function very much likeyellow Unmarked Spectralids fromPikmin 2, in that they leave a drop ofnectar when killed. Compared to the other flutterbies inPikmin 3, Yellow Spectralids have yellow wings with a black "outline", and a black dot exclusive to the bottom wings.

Text
“後翅にのみ丸い目のようなモルフがついている。アカシジミと交配して、25%の確率でオレンジ色の個体が生まれることもある。
特徴 その1 天敵はピクミン
- 天敵であるピクミンから身を守るため、縄張りを他の生物と同じくすることも多い。
特徴 その2 蜜を蓄える
- 蜜を体内に溜め込み、産卵に備える。
- (Image text: 非常に栄養価が高く、他のイエシジミより繁殖しやすい)”
Translation
“It has round eye-like morphs only on the hind wings. When crossed with the Red Spectralids, there is a 25% chance of producing an orange-colored specimen.
Feature #1: Its natural enemy is the Pikmin
- To protect itself from its natural enemy, the Pikmin, it often shares its territory with other creatures.
Feature #2: Storing nectar
- It stores nectar in its body in preparation for laying eggs.
- (Image text: "It is very nutritious, allowing it to reproduce more easily than other Flutterbies")”
Behavior[edit]
Yellow Spectralids may be seen on the ground, nearby flowers, or the back of a sleeping Bulborb, but in all cases, when a leader or Pikmin approaches them, they will fly away. They will flutter around aimlessly in the air, and while doing so they are difficult to reach. After the leader moves a considerable distance away from the Spectralids, it will return within 10 seconds.
Strategy[edit]
