SilkWings

SilkWing by Joy Ang

**SilkWings** are one of the three tribes that reside on Pantala, the other two tribes being HiveWings and LeafWings. The last SilkWing queen was Queen Monarch at the time of the Tree Wars, and the tribe was ruled by Queen Wasp after the Tree Wars until the ending of The Flames of Hope, where a group known as the SilkWing Assembly took control. They currently reside in the LeafSilk Kingdom which they share with the LeafWings and some HiveWings. They are descended from the BeetleWings.

SilkWings are named after different species of butterflies (such as Admiral and Fritillary), and different species of moths (such as Io and Luna).
