The '''Antenna Beetle''' ({{j|カマドフマ|Kamadofuma|{{w|Rhaphidophoridae|Cave Cricket}}}}) is a type of [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' which distracts [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Antenna Beetles use their wings to produce sounds of a high pitch, 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.

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 [[cave]]s. The [[Treasure Gauge]] fluttering about and flashing a pinkish color is an indication that an Antenna Beetle is on the current sublevel.

==Naming==
The creature is called an Antenna Beetle 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]]. In Japan, its name is {{j|カマドフマ|Kamadofuma}}, which is similar to {{j|カマドウマ|kamadouma}}, or a {{w|Rhaphidophoridae|cave cricket}}. Its scientific name is ''Mesmeri raiocontra'', and in it, ''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. 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.
