The '''Bumbling Snitchbug''' is a creature found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It closely resembles the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] in appearance, though possesses more body mass, makes a different buzzing sound, and does not have as distinct a head. The two also behave similarly towards small grounded creatures, but instead of targeting [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] specifically, this lumbering bug prefers to attack [[Captain]]s, snatching them and tossing them to the ground. Captains that the enemy has managed to take hold of will [[dismiss]] their army, but are able to struggle to free themselves if {{button|gcn|Stick|wii|Stick}} is twirled. Alternately, one could have the second pilot throw [[Yellow Pikmin]] to combat the kidnapping Snitchbug.

Weighing the beast down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed by the player's Pikmin forces. When carrying a captain, the Bumbling Snitchbug flies higher than usual. The creature is only harmful in areas with many enemies, where one might catch the player off guard, allowing for the disbanded Pikmin to be eaten. This, however, can easily be prevented by switching to the other captain and calling the Pikmin to resume battle. If the Snitchbug manages to capture both captains, then the player is in a tough spot, and must break free quickly, or have idle Pikmin suffer.

*The Bumbling Snitchbug's design could possibly a reference to stereotypical Japanese cat burglars. The hands look like gloves and the abdomen resembles the typical green bag the burglars always carry around.

*The Bumbling Snitchbug was created due to programming limitations in the [[GameCube]]'s hardware preventing the developers from giving the ability to also pick up leaders to the Swooping Snitchbug. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the hardware of the Wii U allowed for the Swooping Snitchbug to be able to attack both Pikmin and leaders, resulting in the Bumbling Snitchbug not making a reappearance in the game.
