Subspecies - Butterfly Bekos!

[Savago]

I think the answer lies in their ID as well. Could be that the presence of one from set of particular characters in the id code triggers the cimo's apearance? 

Just now I went through a few, and the first 4 I checked that had orange cimos all had an 'r' in their code. Thought I might've been on to something, but the 5th I checked blew that out of the water. Which made me think multiple characters, or specific combinations.

My theory is that it’s just determined by RNG with a very low probability of occurring!

Maybe you have to be raising a Cimo alongside them?

As much as I love this theory, these two just grew up and I haven't had a growing Cimo in weeks:

AWW those two compliment each other so much!!!

I'll try to gather data for Bekos, and I assume it's purely RNG as well. Eventually, from a limited population sample, we may be able to estimate the rough chance of getting a Beko with a Cimo friend.
Sadly, I don't have any myself, yet >.<

I found this pal during the shelter flood! My first butterfly beko! This one is holding the cimo on their claws ;-; so cute

I've got this lass with a butterfly to add to the sample population

I had to go hunting to see it wasn't just some odd glitch and was in fact a feature haha

I got this lovely lady after finding this thread. She looks so curious about her little friend. How sweet! Hope to contribute more soon!
