Ancestor:Descendants:

The stickylicker split from its ancestor, the emulsifly. Ever since the GRB disaster the stickyballs have been left unchecked in the savanna and scrub. Then some emulsiflys left the plains and reclaimed this niche of stickyball cleaner for all the larger fauna in these regions. No matter if they are carnivore or herbivore they allow these tiny flying plents to clean the annoying stickyballs off of them. In return they get protection from smaller predators that might want to eat them.

Like their ancestor their saliva will melt away the stickyball's stickiness so it can consume it. They travel in flocks from creature to creature cleaning them off. Their butt-nostrils will make little whistles at each other to communicate. During mating season the males will do celebrate shows with their photosynthetic wings. Those with the best shows get to mate. They give birth to 1 to 3 babies at a time from their mouth. They will carry them on their backs. Thick clawed suction cupped feet help keep the babies on them as well as the adults on the creature they are cleaning.
