| - This rare species uses its antennae as wings.
- The Swooping Snitchbug is a monster in the Pikmin series for Nintendo GameCube and New Play Control for Wii. This monster can't kill Pikmin in any way, he swoops down, grabs Pikmin then plants them in a new location. The only bad thing is the Pikmin lose their flowers. This has a "relative" the Bumbling Snitchbug. The "bumb" snitchbug grabs Olimar, Louie or President, and throws them down to the floor, causing you to lose health. This Snitchbug was found in both Pikmin games, it was rare in Pikmin, common in Pikmin 2. He also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii.
- The Swooping Snitchbug (サライムシ Saraimushi) is an enemy found in every Pikmin game so far. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of moving. In Pikmin and Pikmin 2, they have glass-like eyes with pupils, but in Pikmin 3, they have more realistic compound eyes. They swoop down, as their name suggests, and grab their prey with their claws. After carrying them for a few seconds, they throw them at the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas Pikmin are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf state. In Pikmin 3, Swooping Snitchbugs may also grab captains, much like the Bumbling Snitchbug.
