Hebikera

Hebikera (ヘビケラ, lit. "snake cricket") are huge, multi-winged flying insects who protect the Toxic Jungle in the film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
==Appearance==
The Hebikera is a long, flatworm-like insect with four pairs of wings distributed over the body. It seems to fly in an undulating fashion, sort of like how an eel swims underwater.
It is a large insect, nearly as long as the tolmekian airship Bumblecrow, and a swarm of them is strong enough to take down large aircraft, like a Bumblecrow. It has a large pair of mantibles and a large flat mouth. Its head is armored like a crab and it has four eyes.
Their larvae are called Mino-Nezumi.
== Trivia ==
* In the original manga, the Hebikera play a much larger role in attacking a Tolmekian squadron.
* The Hebikera replace the Wingworms in the movie as the one attacking Nausicaä and Asbel.
