The bladewing moth (Na'vi name: Reyknap) are a relative of the kinglor. It is one of Pandora's relatively common flying insects and can be found across all regions of the Western Frontier.

It is named for the iridescent blades on its wingtips, which it sheds in a glittering display when attempting to attract a mate. Na'vi have been known to collect and use these as decorative jewelry.

The bladewing moth feeds on nectar and pollen. They are capable of remembering and communicating good feeding locations to others of their kind. Na'vi have learned to follow bladewings as they often lead to rare fruits and edible flowers. Consequently, the bladewing has entered Na'vi folklore as a symbol of luck, and it is said that if a bladewing crosses your path then your forage will be blessed by Eywa.
