Unnamed (ID: 1W8-Y)

Grouping: Arthropod

Hecking Nopes were discovered by the first research team sent to Crop Circle Canyon—specifically, when one jumped onto a researcher's face from a flowering succulent-like plant they were inspecting. This same researcher is the one who chose the species name.

Hecking Nopes are a species of winged arachnid that can both jump and fly. They are, however, nonvenomous, and are important pollinators for many of the plant species found in arid climates. Their fluffy legs and abdomens tend to pick up a fair amount of pollen as they travel, and they will opportunistically feed on other invertebrates they find on the plants while searching for nectar, ridding them of pests in the process. They are very curious when not feeling threatened, and will carefully inspect objects—or people—that they find interesting.
