These creatures actually lunge at the pikmin, and after a while, THEN they are poisoned. So They latch onto the pikmin like pikmin would on a Bulborb, except that these things are on the side, and the ones that miss turn back to do it again. I also think that the males are the ones who lunge AND chase to get the pikmin, and when a pikmin attacks at an area where there are little bugs and the other area has a lot of them, then after a moment, the bugs then LITERALY swarm to that area with the pikmin. Could these be a lower, unevolved form of pikmin? I also think that they have a 30 day migration period, which is why every 30 days they return, it would explain a lot. O yes, my method of getting PLENTY of sprays and not exceed the limit quickly so try to get like 20 pikmin to come there, and use somewhere between 1 and 4. Also, when the day is almost over, and plenty are still left, use ALL the pikmin if there are sprays left on the 10 second countdown, then use the glitch to assorb the nectors faster. You can use this day for getting sprays, and if you REALLY need sprays, then double absorb the sprays, my choise for absorbing twice are Ultra-Bitter sprays, as chances are, they will be used the most (necters soon will become a problem, so you COULD leave a Captain at the entrance to the Hole of Heroes while the second Captain can stay down, take the Pikmin, take them to the Withering Blowhog, then after they are deflowered, throw them back up to the FIRST Captain, have them drink the nectar, Rinse and Repeat). After they are all dead and the day isn't over, BUT you still need sprays, return to the Onions, and get 100 pikmin. Then go to the berries, but If a large and maximum sized mold is growing, use an Ultra-Spicy Spray to destroy them. [[User:Learner|Learner]] 14:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed these are the ''only'' insects in Pikmin that have six legs.[[User:Omepha|Omepha]] 10:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

You make a good point Omepha, most ether have four legs(ex:Cannon Beatles, Anode Beatles, Flint Beatles ect) and some none at all(ex:Snich Bugs, Sheargubs). {{User:Last Onion/sig}}

:Rocky, a little humility wouldn't kill you.... Besides, your translation wasn't more than a translation of the individual characters as words themselves, not the words they make when combined with each other. Also, Crystal, if they really are ticks like the card says, then the only thing remarkable about them having six legs would be that they're missing a pair just like every other bug in the game, since ticks have eight legs. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Well some might be insects such as a dweevil, They're other 2 legs might have evolved into the feelers around there mouth (if they even are feelers) or the cannon beetles might have very small or small consealed legs, such as how spiders conseal there *shudder* fangs. and the beady long legs, it says that it is '''insectoid''', that doesnt mean that its an insect, it could just be an animal that grew an exoskeleton. The shear diversity of species can even give us an insect with gills that has traded 2 of its legs for fins or something else like a jet.

:True, but the Japanese name of these things calls them "ticks" or "mites," which I'm sure we'll add to the page as soon as that card ends up getting translated.... {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 19:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:Aphids are not Bright Orange (Green) {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

I Ment EVOLVED Aphids. {{User:Redpikminflamethrower/Sig}}

Well, I highly doubt its evolved aphids, creatures can change colors relatively quick, but it still takes many generations and sometimes a need for it; even if they were evolved, by that time most of the food would have rotted away. (Unless of course humans are still alive on the planet, we just never encounter them).--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 19:48, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

My question is why they didn't just put it in the Piklopedia. It would have hurt anything, would it? Anyway, my sisters know A LOT of Japanese, and according to one of them, their name doesn't translate to anything. But what I noticed was that the 2 first characters are the same as the first 2 on the Female and Male Sheargrub. But that's when I looked at the Japanese name of the Shearwig. It turns out that the LAST 2 characters are the same as the last 2 on the Male and Female. So that must mean that those 2 characters were translated to Shear. But Shear doesn't appear in the Secret Insects name. All I can conclude to this is that if it had a name in American, it would have Grub in it. We can also tell that it is related to the Sheargrubs. Another thing is that it looks like a Sheargrub, too. If I were to call it anything, I would call it a Sheargrub Larva.--[[User:Ymmot392|Ymmot392]] 16:56, September 9, 2009 (UTC) Just to tell you guys I'm pretty damn sure the burrow nits resemble ticks its just that the burrow nits are larger[[Special:Contributions/70.18.65.149|70.18.65.149]] 22:23, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

:Both are speculation, so I removed both. Sure, they emit poisons, but they look completely different to any other Pikmin enemies.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:Ok! {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

my theory is that the bugs are some kind of common ansesctor of mities, Doodlebugs, and possibly Burrow-nits. -random creepy guy


My sister can read a little bit of japanese so I asked her to translate the card. She only got the name though. Apparently it's called a Ujadani in japan[[User:Banjobug|Banjobug]] 21:45, May 17, 2010 (UTC)Banjobug

:Well, that doesn't say much about its species, but we could put it in the article. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:A friend of mine in Japan confirmed the name Ujadani. Also he said that the first sentence is These ticks can found everywhere. That was about all he could get.[[User:Banjobug|Banjobug]] 20:33, May 18, 2010 (UTC)Banjobug

::Yeah, [[:File talk:B13.JPG|Ujyadani]], and apparently "dani" means tick. Best of luck finding a translation of the entire card. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 00:15, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

If anyone could find a way to type Japanese characters, they could go to http://translate.reference.com/translate Redradish 19:40, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

I speak an amount of Japanese and can confirm that the e-card says Ujyadani, and that dani means tick, or that type of insect. I'll ask my Japanese friend about the rest when I get my chance. Also, I think that these creatures may be juvenile mitites. They could be holding nectar that their parents gave them to sustain them before they grow fully. I don't suppose there's a secret Piklopedia page for them? '''TheYellowPikmin'''

If the issue is links, it is a simple matter of changing them (through [[Special:WhatLinksHere]]). Anyway, calling a creature a description ''is'' conjecture. Especially since the header notice says that it should be replaced by an official name if discovered. Also, I checked histories and Pikipedia has never moved this article to Ujadani; however, its Wikia counterpart did move it soon after the "fork".

Your right, its very unlikely that a data name would ever be considered as a final name. Burrowing Snagrets are called Snakecrows (Sounds like a Pokemon doesn't it? Snakrow?). So its likely data names are based on what a creature looks like. Like how Wogpoles are called tadpoles. {{User:Loafy the Breadbug/sig}}

Well, we still haven't reached a consensus over the page's title, but I never knew about these names. Aren't there any more interesting names? If a lot of enemies and such have weird names on the games' files, we should consider adding that info somewhere. If not, if only some files have odd names, we should add that as trivia to the respective pages. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:45, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Well Orange Bulborb and Hairy Bulborb are called Blue Chappy and Yellow Chappy respectivly. Which means Blue Bulborb and Yellow Bulborb, as seen in beta. Glint Beetles are Wealthy and Cloaking Burrownit is Armour. Doodlebugs are Fart. {{User:Loafy the Breadbug/sig}}

That's all interesting info. Now... where could we add it? If we add it on the trivia section of each enemy's article, it'll feel a bit off...

Apologies for being so late to the conversation. As I believe I discussed with Green a while ago in the chat, I think the article should be named Ujadani, the name given on the card as it's the closest thing to an official name as we have, even despite it being transliterated and thus not technically 100% official. Although it might not be searchable by new users, the fact is that there are a lot of games which don't give enemy names first-hand, and players rely on sites like this (for which by the way it is not at all uncommon to take names from extra sources like guides, scribes, interviews, etc.) to give them those names. Keep in mind also that this page would not be orphaned -- it would be linked to by enemy footers, categories, and the Spray and Wistful Wild articles -- so searching would not be the only way to access it, and any odd names we think people will search for can always be redirected here. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 10:17, 8 November 2011 (EST)
