Vespalsarium

Vespalsaium is a bee fly-like Neopteron that superficially resembles Vespoids and leaves its young in the nests of other Neopterons so they can feed on their eggs and larvae.

Physiology
Vespalsarium primarily resembles a bee fly, having a fuzzy, stocky body, a long, pointy proboscis, and two large, red eyes on the top of its head. However, it has some traits similar to those of a Vespoid, namely the six wings, barbed stinger at the end of its abdomen, and the yellow and black colouration.

Behavior
Vespalsarium is a pollinator, subsisting entirely on nectar and pollen with the help of its long, narrow proboscis. However, its young are parasitic, and it will lay its eggs in the nests and burrows of other Neopterons so they can feed on the hosts' eggs and larvae. It uses pheromones to trick other Neopterons into letting it access their burrows and get them to think it and its larvae are one of them when they're not. Despite this behaviour, it is passive towards anything that isn't a Neopteran, ignoring them unless provoked, but will ram into them and spray them with foul-smelling pheromones if they won't leave it alone.

Abilities
It has access to pheromones that allow it to trick other Neopterons into letting it access their nests and lay its eggs there so its larvae can feed on theirs.

Habitat
Vespalsarium can be found in nearly any area, and its numbers are at their highest when the area contains other Neopterons like it.

Attacks
Sting

Vespalsarium jabs the hunter with its stinger. This attack deals low damage

Pheromone Spray

Vespalsarium shoots foul-smelling pheromones at the hunter with its stinger. This attack deals low damage and inflicts the Soiled condition.

Ram

Vespalsarium quickly rushes at the hunter and crashes into them. This attack deals low damage.

Trivia

 * Vespalsarium's name is a portmanteau of vespa, which is Latin for wasp, and falsarium, which is Latin for faker.
 * Vespalsarium is based on bee flies, who mimic bees in order to ward off predators and lay their eggs in the burrows of beetles, wasps, and solitary bees so their parasitic and predatory larvae can feed on their eggs and larvae. Like the monster, some members of the species are opportunistic and will target a variety of hosts.
