The '''Antenna Beetle''' ({{j|カマドフマ|Kamadofuma|{{w|Rhaphidophoridae|Cave Cricket}}}}) is an [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' which distracts [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Antenna Beetles use their roars to produce sounds of a particular frequency, which interferes with the [[Treasure Gauge]] and attracts nearby Pikmin, similar to the [[whistle]]. This noise overrides any commands issued by a [[leader]], so the Antenna Beetle can take command of any Pikmin that are nearby, which can indirectly harm Pikmin by leading them into a [[hazard]]. The only way to regain control of the Pikmin is to kill the enemy or force it to leap away again.
'''Antenna Beetles''' are antennaed, two-legged beetles in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that can pose danger to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], but not directly. They use their wings to produce sounds of a high pitch, which interferes with the [[Treasure Gauge]] and attracts Pikmin, much as the [[Captain]]s' whistles do. The sound wave resembles a Captain's, only pink. That effect overrides any similar commands issued by Olimar, so they are able to take command of any Pikmin that are nearby; the only way to regain control of them is to kill it, or force it into leaping away again. Having Pikmin captured is where the danger comes in, because this creature may lead them into a hazard. The beast periodically jumps away and returns, stumbling as it lands, and can be led into disembarking in such a manner by attacking it. Approaching the beast often has a similar effect. In attack, swarm as it lands or throw Pikmin on; [[Purple Pikmin]] work the best, as they may stun it, preventing it from getting up and jumping away. If you land a Pikmin on it, it will roll over, not much different than an [[Anode Beetle]].


The enemy periodically jumps high in the air and returns to the ground, stumbling as it lands. It can be prompted to jump again by attacking it or approaching it often. It can be attacked by [[swarm]]ing it as it lands or [[throw]]ing Pikmin on top of it. If a Pikmin lands on it, it will roll over, not much different from an [[Anode Beetle]]. [[Purple Pikmin]] may also stun it if thrown on top, preventing it from getting up and jumping away.  
The Antenna Beetle is relatively rare, found in only a few underground locations. The Treasure Gauge being disfunctional is an absolute indication that one is on the same sublevel as [[Olimar]]. The treasure gauge's needle will flutter about and flash a pinkish color.

==Notes==
 
See [[List of notes, recipes, and sales in Pikmin 2/Enemies and Plants #Antenna Beetle|here]].
Pikmin under its control are immune to most dangers, as they follow the same rules as juvenile [[Bulbmin]] when following their mothers. This means that they are ignored by enemies and only killed by crushing and hazards, though explosions will knock them back. The real danger is when the Antenna Beetle hops away and the Pikmin become idle.

==Naming==
{{naming
|common    = Antenna Beetle. The creature is called that due to it "whistling" an area around it, perhaps using its antennae, or perhaps because it mimics the way a [[spacesuit]]'s antenna shakes when a [[leader]] is [[Whistle|whistling]].
|jpcommon  = {{j|カマドフマ|Kamadofuma}}. It is similar to {{j|カマドウマ|kamadouma|{{w|Rhaphidophoridae|cave cricket}}|f=tp}}.
|jpname    = {{j|フエフキカマドフマ|Fuefuki Kamadofuma|Flute Playing Kamadofuma}}.
|scientific = ''Mesmeri raiocontra''. ''Mesmeri'' is similar to the English word "[[wiktionary:mesmerize|mesmerize]]", and ''raiocontra'' could be considered a combination of ''raio'' and ''contra''. ''Raio'', in this context, is Portuguese for "beam", and ''contra'' is Latin for "counter", maybe referring to how the whistle's "beam" is used to counter the Pikmin's aggressiveness.
|internal  = Internally, the creature is called <code>fuefuki</code>, which in Japanese is {{j|ふえふき|fuefuki|Flute Player|f=tp}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Roulette Wheel Antenna Beetle.png|right|The unused icon.]]
*There is an unused image of the Antenna Beetle in the style of [[2-Player Battle]]'s roulette icons, implying that at some point in development there may have been a powerup to spawn an Antenna Beetle near the opponent.
*If the Antenna Beetle is killed while Pikmin are in its control, the Pikmin will [[panic]] and scream, like [[Bulbmin]] when their leading adult is killed.
