Bnahabra

The new Neopteron insect-like monsters found in Monster Hunter 3 (tri). They are the MH3 equivalent of the Vespoid from previous series. They fly in a similar fashion and can also cause paralysis with its stinger. But unlike the Vespoids, they can shoot a corrosive liquid which will reduce a hunter's elemental resistance to Fire, Water, or Thunder depending on the region. There are various subspecies of the Bnahabra which, again, vary between the regions. Each has a distinct colored wing. Bnahabra are often seen attached to the sides of the walls seemingly lifeless; until a hunter is close enough and then fly away or attack.

Trivia

 * Bnahabras are attracted to torches.
 * There is a large-sized Bnahabra in MH3's offline mode (area 6).
