SilkWings appear to have gem-like scales and have small spines running down their back to the tip of their tails. Their scales appear to be somewhat iridescent, similar to NightWing scales. They have slim bodies, similar to RainWings. Their horns are curved, almost RainWing-like in shape, but much longer and thinner. There is also a set of antennae on the brow above the eyes. The ridge above their eyes runs over their horns, giving SilkWings a plated appearance. SilkWings have two pairs of wings, one pair smaller than the other, with membranes that have rounded edges. SilkWings have butterfly-like wings, which appear similar to butterfly or moth wings in shape. Their wings also can have spots and other patterns.[citation needed] The bigger pair of wings appear to have four digits that the membrane is stretched between. The smaller pair of wings are attached slightly below the larger pair and have two digits. According to Tui on the Wings of Fire Forums, SilkWings' wings are just as strong as any dragon's wings,[event 1] rather than weak like an insect's.

SilkWings can be any color except black, such as olive green, aquamarine, lavender, indigo, amber, orange, dark purple, peach, gray, and red. They sometimes have darker accent colors on their scales. The wing membranes appear to be different colors too, as well as certain segments between the digits being a different color than the rest of the wing.

Description
BeetleWings were described to have four wings like butterflies, beetles, or dragonflies. All known BeetleWings had bright colors, similar to SilkWings. Only two pure blooded BeetleWings have been mentioned in the series so far: Sunstreak and a small unnamed lavender BeetleWing dragonet Clearsight saw in a vision. When hatched, BeetleWings grow up without wings for a few years, then get them later, very similar to SilkWings.[1]

Abilities
Like their HiveWing descendants, some BeetleWings had insect-like powers. They were rumored to have antennae and an ability to shoot venom from their fangs, much like RainWings.[2] In Sequoia's retelling of the Legend of the Hive, it was mentioned that they used flamesilk to burn bees out of the sky.[3]

Names
There are only five named BeetleWing individuals, with four of them being the BeetleWing-NightWing hybrids. All of them were named after various butterfly species.
