<br><br>\
A meter-long fuzzy insect from the planet Binma. \
Frostflies utilize their vestigial wings as a method of dispersing a chemical that produces a rapid \
endothermic reaction on contact with the air, resulting in the flash-freezing of nearby materials. \
A native of the Binman contintents of Telarus and Dalomee, the Tymisian Moth usually lives in communal \
groups of upwards of thirty individuals, known as 'spuzzes', and typically breeds up to three times in its \
fifteen year natural lifespan. \
<br>\
Carnivorous in nature, they use their cryogenic compounds to trap smaller prey, or frighten predators. \
Individuals are known to slalom when facing other creatures, dispersing clouds of gas, and spitting \
condensed globs of the compound. These masses of mucous and ice seem to be intended to impede movement. \
Though strictly herbivorous, the moth has an acute sense of smell which it uses to detect potential predators. \
Impressively, the moth secretes an oily substance which it uses to coat collected material stored in 'soft pockets' \
beneath each wing, which in turn attracts colonies of pungent bacteria. \
When threatened, the moth will release this dust, which has a disorienting effect on most Binman species, as well as all known sapients. \
<br>\
Travelers are advised to avoid frostfly swarms whenever possible, as they will become aggressive \
to anything other than Diyaabs, which they seem to have formed a tangential symbiosis with."
The Tymisian Moth is considered an invasive species on Sif, and is believed to have been established from an illegally \
released pet collection. Though less dangerous than in its native environment, the moth has nonetheless established a \
similar symbiotic relationship with Sivian bacteria for its defense mechanism, and is still to be considered quite dangerous. \
<br>\
As an invasive species, individuals encountering the Tymisian Moth on Sif are requested to report the sighting to local wildlife \
services, and remove or destroy the creature if it is safe to do so."
