Vibrava represents the adult stage of an {{wp|antlion}}, though it seems to draw more visual inspiration from {{wp|mayfly|mayflies}} | Vibrava represents the adult stage of an {{wp|antlion}}, though it seems to draw more visual inspiration from {{wp|mayfly|mayflies}}, possibly nodding to the Japanese word for an adult antlion, ''usuba-kagerou'', or "thin-winged mayfly". Combined with an antlion's resemblance to a {{wp|dragonfly}}, Vibrava's typing suggests that it may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Progomphus|sanddragons}}. | ||
