The '''Female Sheargrub''' ({{j|ウジンコ♀|Ujinko ♀|Tiny Maggot ♀}}) is an [[enemy]] found in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Unlike the members of the [[Male Sheargrub|opposing gender]], Female Sheargrubs are scavengers and do not attack [[leader]]s or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], although they will still chase them. Their behavior, along with their light pink color and relatively small jaws, is the most distinctive difference between them and males of the same species. As with Male Sheargrubs, however, they eat [[bridge]]s that were built on a previous day. They provide only one or two seeds, and thus are usually not worth bringing back to the [[Onion]].

In ''Pikmin 3'', Female Sheargrubs [[Health#Regeneration|regenerate health]] when they are underground, just like Male Sheargrubs. They can fully heal themselves in 30 seconds. When their health is at 20% or lower, they will return to their nest to bury and recover, and when they regenerate to 50%, they emerge and continue their chase, if there are leaders or Pikmin nearby. The [[HUD#Health wheel|health wheel]] will always be visible above the ground when they are recovering health.

==Behavior==
When idle, Female Sheargrubs remain underground. Only when the player or Pikmin are near does the Female Sheargrub appear. It will emerge and follow either the player or any Pikmin nearby without attacking. Once a certain amount of damage has been done to them, they will retreat underground and heal up. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', Female Sheargrubs will 'attack' unfolded bridges and deconstruct them. This doesn't happen in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' as the bridges were changed from sticks to fragments and clay. Additionally, when a Female Sheargrub comes into contact with water, it instantly died. This only occurs in the first two games.

==Locations==
{{see|Female Sheargrub/Locations}}

==Strategy==
Female Sheargrubs are harmless pests and can be defeated with ease by either the Pikmin or a leader's [[punch]]es; there is no threat at all besides them pushing Pikmin around. A single Pikmin on their backs should take them out instantly. Leading them into water will also deplete their [[health]] in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', though this does not work in ''Pikmin 3'' or ''Pikmin 4''. However, they are quite often found near Male Sheargrubs which can kill Pikmin so its best to run around the area to see if any are nearby.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{Transcript|This little one's primary food source is secretions from Ambuloradices like Pikmin. To fill the bellies of so many Sheargrubs, there must be a healthy population of Ambuloradicis creatures in this world! It's through Sheargrubs like this that we get a glimpse of the hidden secrets of the planet.|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|The males of this species are purple and black creatures with tapered mouths, while the females are lighter in color and lack an armored exoskeleton.

As with most Mandiblards, these creatures have regressed to the point where they have lost both legs and wings. They can be seen crawling around on the ground and are believed to feed on the vegetable extracts from the congealed fluids of expired Pikmin.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|For an unforgettable quiche, slice this creature up and mix with four eggs, two vine-ripened tomatoes, diced zucchini, and generous handfuls of feta and Swiss. Bake until crusty and golden. This beast is most flavorful if caught and cooked just after laying its eggs.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Female sheargrubs are the weakest of the mandiblard family. All mandiblards feed on wooden bridges, so make sure that you exterminate the pests before the bugs undo your handiwork.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Pale pink Sheargrubs pop out of the ground and distract your Pikmin, but they don't cause your troops any harm. They do, however, like to roll up constructed bridges. If you have the time, you can swarm and defeat the creatures with little effort and take them back to the Onions for two sprouts a pop.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|Like Male Sheargrubs, Female Sheargrubs spend most of their time under-ground. Unlike their male counterparts, however, Female Sheargrubs aren't equipped with pincers. When you uncover a group of Female Sheargrubs, throw one Pikmin onto each enemy.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A Sheargrub female. Its jaws are soft and cannot catch prey. When mature, it burrows into the soil to form a pupa, lays eggs in the pupa without emerging, and dies soon afterwards.

Feature #1: Emerging from the ground
:They usually live underground, but emerge above ground to feed.
:(Image text: "They feed on an agar-like substance secreted by Pikmin while weaving branches")

Feature #2: Large jaws
:It has flat, scissor-like jaws that are split vertically.
:(Image text:
:*"It is not covered by a shell and cannot bite Pikmin"
:*"Wings and legs have degenerated and disappeared in both males and females")

{{naming
|common     = Female Sheargrub. It is the female counterpart to the [[Male Sheargrub]].
|jpcommon   = {{j|ウジンコ♀|Ujinko ♀}}. It contains the {{w|Venus symbol}} to point out that it is a female. 
|jpname     = {{j|ヒラバヒメアギト|Hira Ba Hime Agito|Flat Ground Small Jaw}}. The name is given as {{j|ヒラバヒメアギト♀|Hira Ba Hime Agito ♀|Flat Ground Small Jaw ♀|f=tp}} in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', and as {{j|ヒラバヒメアギト メス|Hira Ba Hime Agito Mesu|Flat Ground Small Jaw (female)|f=tp}} in ''Pikmin 4''. 
|scientific = ''Himeagea mandibulosa (f)''. The word ''mandibulosa'' is Latin for "mandible". Prior to ''Pikmin 4'', the scientific name did not contain the "''(f)''" to identify it as female.
|internal   = The internal name in ''Pikmin'' is <code>kabekuiA</code>. The <code>A</code> in the name is the disambiguation identifier for each [[mandiblard family|mandiblard]]; the Female Sheargrub has an <code>A</code>, the Male has a <code>B</code>, and the [[Shearwig]] has a <code>C</code>. The internal name in ''Pikmin 2'' is simply <code>ujia</code>, with <code>uji</code> being part of the Japanese name, and the <code>a</code> being once again the identifier. Finally, ''Pikmin 3'' follows the same scheme as the previous game, but with the name starting with <code>ujinko_</code>, making its internal name <code>ujinko_a</code>.
