It's nice to see Bloodbees getting attention, if indirectly. It is a bit odd that it would immediately become a full-time troposphere resident, although I suppose their insect-like life history would make the pace of evolution faster.

I figure this would become an important part of the sky ecosystem, especially because it can use both Soaring and Hairy Sky Phlyers.

The mouth is based on that of the bloodbee, which is part of the ancestral genus group.

For reference, here's the Bloodbee image:

Other than the texturing and style, it's almost identical to the Bloodbee in looks.

Alright then
