You may have noticed at the Wistful Wild, every 30 days starting at Day 31, some tiny, odd insects appear. These are not documented in the (in game) Piklopedia. They resemble small, orange half-spheres that scuttle about in their area. One pack is near the entrance of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and the other is to the right of the black gate leading to the [[Dream Den]] in the field of [[Creeping Crysanthemum|Creeping Crysanthemums]]. These creatures poison your Pikmin, if not white, but can still be destroyed by non-whites. If you use whites, they '''all''' will attack them like popping rocks and [[nectar]] and [[spray]] will appear in the blink of an eye. There will be more sprays than nectar and there should be more than 10. This is good if you like to collect sprays, or really need sprays.They are about 1 cm.

'''Ujadani''' ({{j|ウジャダニ|Uja Dani|Swarm Mite}}), also known as '''Ujamushi''' ({{j|ウジャムシ|Uja Mushi|Swarm Bug}}){{cite web|https://www.nintendo.co.jp/p/c934/index2.html|''Pikmin 2'' trivia|Nintendo|retrieved={{date|3|September|2024}}}}, are small [[Enemy|creatures]] in {{p2}} that appear in the [[Wistful Wild]] in intervals of 30 [[day]]s, on days 31, 61, 91, etc. They are very small, orange bugs with a 5 mm body length that scurry about in large swarms, and are not documented in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]]. They appear to have tiny scuttling feet before their bulbous backs.
There is a maximum number of sprays and nectar that will come out of the insects (roughly no more than 20 blobs in total are allowed on screen), as soon as the Pikmin start popping them and nothing comes out stop them and absorb everything on the screen. Then continue attacking the insects. Doing this you will get considerably more sprays, its possible to get about 20 of each spray this way.


Ujadani are not named in-game; [[#Naming|the name "Ujadani"]] comes from their [[e-Reader]] card, which was only released in Japanese.

In ''Pikmin 2'', two swarms of 70 each can be found on the days they appear. One of the swarms is located near the entrance of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and the other is in the black stone area to the right of the black [[gate]] leading to the [[Dream Den]], on the edge of the clearing of [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s.
[[Category:Hints & Tips]]
 
The creatures can be attacked by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], who will smack at it the same way they strike [[rubble]]. Each time one is killed, it has a high chance of releasing [[nectar]] or [[spray]] drops. This makes Ujadani one of the best sources of sprays and nectar in the game. They are technically aggressive and will gather around Pikmin if possible, occasionally poisoning non-[[White Pikmin]]. They attack extremely infrequently; it is quite possible to wipe out one or both swarms without a single Pikmin being poisoned.

If left alone, each Ujadani scurries about near the swarm's lair. They ignore leaders, but once a Pikmin appears, the Ujadani closest to it will start swarming around it. They either move around the Pikmin, hop around it, shake in place for a bit, or jump onto it and let go after a brief moment. Every once in a while, when performing one of these actions, they release some poison that affects the Pikmin, although this release cannot be seen. These behaviors can be observed by having a leader [[throw|hold]] onto a Pikmin, though non-White Pikmin might get affected by the poison and escape the leader's hand.
 
==Spray strategy==
{{guide}}
Because of the massive amount of spray drops an Ujadani swarm can generate when cleared out, they are the single best source of sprays in the game. Given their rarity, it is crucial to make the most of the moment.
 
There can only be a maximum of 24 nectar drops in an area at one time, be it nectar or sprays. To minimize wasted drops, keep a close eye on the nectar and spray counts, and if no new drops are being produced, call off the Pikmin and collect all useable drops before continuing. Doing this will produce considerably more sprays: it is possible to obtain over 20 of each this way. As all nectar drops count towards the limit, one should keep in mind a way to get rid of the non-spray ones. The easiest method is to clear the area near to the Ujadani swarms of its [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s while leaving at least one of the [[Withering Blowhog]]s alive. If enough nectar drops spawn to prevent spray drops from spawning, have the Blowhog wither your army, and then assign a single leaf Pikmin to each nectar drop, to allow the highest amount of nectar to be used up in the shortest time. This allows for more sprays in total, as the nectars can easily reach the limit of 24 drops themselves.
 
So many spray drops in one place present the perfect chance to use a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Double sprays|glitch]] which effectively doubles the number of sprays the player can absorb. Though it may take a little extra time depending on the exact method used, it is well worth the effort to squeeze as many sprays as possible out of this rare opportunity.
 
Entering and exiting a [[cave]] will make the bugs respawn, meaning the player can obtain their spoils more than once per day. In combination with the previous strategies, a player can theoretically make over a hundred sprays in a single day from Ujadani alone.
 
==e-card==
[[File:Ujadani E-Card.jpg|thumb|Scan of the e-card.]]
The e-card has the following text:
<blockquote>
ウジャダニ<br/>
どこにでもいるダニの仲間で、これと言った特徴<br/>
もない。しかし、生態系の大部分はこのように地<br/>
味な生き物で成り立っており、「派手」で「特異」<br/>
な生物が生態系のほんの一部にすぎないのはどの<br/>
星でも同じ事だ。<br/>
</blockquote>
 
Which roughly translates to:
 
<blockquote>
''Ujadani''<br/>
A group of ticks that can be found everywhere, it has no notable characteristics.
However, the ecosystem is mostly composed of this sort of simple organism, and that showy,
unique animals are no more than one part of the ecosystem is true of any planet.

==Naming==
This creature's English name is never stated, but the two known Japanese names come from its [[e-Reader]] card and a ''Pikmin 2'' web page. They are a combination of the Japanese word {{j|うじゃうじゃ|ujauja|in swarms|f=tp}} and the words {{j|ダニ|dani|tick|f=tp}} and {{j|むし|mushi|bug|f=tp}}, respectively. Its scientific name is not known, but its internal name, <code>ujamushi</code>, is the same as one of its Japanese names.

==Trivia==
*If a Pikmin is [[Throw|held]] while in the middle of a cluster of Ujadani, they will swarm around the Pikmin, but will be unable to interact with it.{{cite youtube|9zpNEphShKE|showing the Ujadani swarming on a White Pikmin|m=4|s=59}}
*Ujadani are internally considered obstacles that regenerate in 30-day intervals. This, notably, means that they will be present in the Wistful Wild if it is accessed on Day 1 through hacking.
*Contrary to some old rumors, Ujadani do '''not''' stop spawning after Day 301.
