This is my entry to the forest folk worldbuilding drawing contest by @cabalen . The challenge is to design a house for the forest folks. My choice of creatures from the woodlands are the insects which I call the Nyffrin. The houses are small like the cocoon of a butterfly. These are made on high canopies for security and protection. The houses are translucent and the seed like structures on the roof are solar shimmers for charging the insect wings as well as attracting mates.

Here are some of the Nyffrins that I have designed who inhabits these crystal leaf pods or Glostrulyn
