Somebody switch the raptor and swarmling photos. Don't believe me, watch the SC2 Lore Panel.

A raptor is a specially-mutated zergling with two pairs of wings, allowing it to leap over cliffs and pounce on opponents.[1] They are an alternative to the swarmling.[2]
Raptors can be developed if Sarah Kerrigan orders the absorption of genetic material from leaping creatures.[3]
Compared to regular zerglings, raptors have +2 damage, as well as a powerful jump similar to a zealot's charge, allowing it to leap over other units or cliffs. Though none is stated inside the game, it does have its own internal cooldown.[4] They can jump up and down elevations like reapers.[5]
Zerglings can transform into either raptors or swarmlings; once made, the choice is irreversible.
