Honeymilk
Honeymilk is a Kannoan animal byproduct produced by members of the class Melifera, comparable to milk in mammals. A major component of honeymilk is the trisaccharide sugar melezitose, also found in Earth animals, mostly insects in the form of honeydew. Honeymilk generally has a light cream colour and tends to be a little more viscous than mammalian milk, as is the case with urm and beecattle honeymilk.
Photodermal patch
The photodermal patch is a (usually) external organ found on the faces of phylum Photodermata on Elm. It is−as the name suggests−an area of exposed skin made of cells capable of sensing light to a limited degree. It accomplishes different tasks from one species to another. For example, on elmians it regulates the circadian rhythm and aids in emotional information, while on the benthic genus Anops of paons they are used for vision (mostly in the form of sensing changes in light at a short distance).
