'''Female Sheargrubs''' ({{j|ウジンコ♀|Ujinko ♀|Parrot Maggot ♀}}) are enemies found in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Unlike the members of the [[Male Sheargrub|opposing gender]], they are scavengers and do not attack [[leader]]s or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], although they still chase them. Their behavior, along with their light pink color and relatively small jaws, is the most distinctive difference between males and females of the 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]].

===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.}}

{{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.}}

===Alph's Notes===

{{transcript|Structural flaw: Back / Weight: 1 / It takes no time at all for them to emerge from their hiding places underground. They don't do much once they've surfaced, but you have to give them credit for being very efficient borers.}}

{{transcript|The ability to hide underground and burst up to the surface whenever someone comes near, then retreat to recover again, just isn't fair. They'd be fearsome ambushers if they ever...you know... attacked.}}

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. 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'' (this does not work in ''Pikmin 3'').

The Female Sheargrub is the female counterpart to the [[Male Sheargrub]], which naturally explains the "Female" part of the name. The Japanese name is {{j|ウジンコ♀|Ujinko ♀}}, which contains the {{w|Venus symbol}} to point out that it is a female. In the creature's scientific name, ''Himeagea mandibulosa'', the word ''mandibulosa'' is Latin for "mandible".

 

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>.

 

In the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, this enemy is referred to as "Shear Grub (Female)", with a space.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#023_-_Female Sheargrub|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}
