Sweet little sugar-wings whisper such quiet things.
Percival trying to make a new friend. Always more shy than the others, Percy finds it hard to make friends who understand him. Not many insects seem to know that when he flaps his arms about he's really trying to talk to them. They do seem to enjoy climbing up his long arms though and he doesn't mind the tickles. He loves snails most of all and often lets them climb along his arms much to Humfrey's dismay.
This little sugar-wing he found seems to be interested in making friends at least. Sugar-wings are a small breed of insect who enjoy suckling dew from flower petals in the early hours of the day. Their powdery white wings are soft to the touch and feel almost as if they were covered in fur. When they walk it leaves behind a path of white sweet-smelling powder which the sugar-wings use to find their way back. This powder is often gathered to sweeten treats like dandelion winter root cakes with rosehip tea.

I got the file saved a little better, sorry for the re-submit. He is a lot less clipped now.
