Glow Buzzer

Glow Buzzers are a tiny species of flying bioluminescent insect-like creatures which illuminate the caves of the Clangers' homeworld. They are named for the light they emanate and for the buzzing sound they produce.

Glow Buzzers build hives on the walls of caves and fill them with sweet glow-honey made from the nectar of walking cave flowers. The Clangers find the glow-honey delicious, and while Glow Buzzers won't permit them to steal it, they have no problem with giving some if the Clangers ask politely.

Although they don't speak the same language as the Clangers, Glow Buzzers are clearly sapient creatures, as demonstrated by intelligent behaviour such as using Granny Clanger's wool to create a line to guide Small Clanger to the entrance of a cave after he got lost.
