White Spectralids are small butterfly-like creatures in Pikmin 3. They have white wings, very fuzzy bodies, red eyes and two small feet they use to stand on things. They are very aesthetic, as they will fly around any level and land on almost any surface, usually flowers, Pellet Posies, or the eyes or back of a sleeping Bulborb. Unlike other Spectralids, this type of Flitterbie drops nothing.

Alph's Notes[]
"Structural flaw: weak hide
Weight: 1
There's a saying that a tiny design adjustment can cause huge cascades of change elsewhere in a project. It makes me wonder what effect our presence has had on the planet."
Brittany's Notes[]
"You'd think with wings like that, it would float away on the slightest breeze. Maybe it's working really hard to stay where it is. If that's the case, it could've fooled me"
Charlie's Notes[]
"It's a flighty one, in both senses of the word. But even if it would stay still, I don't have the heart to unleash my steely fists on the poor thing."
Louie's Notes[]
"Remove the wings and drop straight into the deep fryer. Cook until golden or until the enticing aroma starts to sting your eyes. Serve immediately."
Olimar's Notes[]
"White Spectralids
Fenestari albaprismatus
Flutterbie family
It's remarkably similiar to its unmarked brethren, but the telltale wing patterns and lone pair of hind legs give it away. It sticks to its own habitat for the most part; though it may fly away to reach a flower or escape a bulblax, it will soon return to its home. The white variety gathers no nectar but sometimes may be found carrying a pellet."
Pikmin 3 Prima Guide[]
"The White Spectralids is a harmless flying creature. Unless Pikmin cultivation is your priority, it's usually best to ignore these enemies.
If you choose to attack a White Spectralids, use Winged Pikmin to defeat the creature with ease. If that's not an option, wait for the White Spectralids to land, then toss a single Pikmin onto its back."
Battle Strategy[]
Any type of Pikmin can be thrown directly at a White Spectralids to defeat it instantly. The player must, however, remain a considerable distance away from the creature, as it will fly away if any Captain gets too close; this is not a problem for Winged Pikmin , as they will give chase, making them the best option for defeating these creatures.
