Scientific name: '' Lepidoptera pluckieus''
Ravenous Whiskerpillars are harmless enemies in ''Pikmin 2''. These enemies do not care about the Pikmin, instead aiming for [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, particularly their berries. They climb atop the plant and begin chewing on the berries, destroying them. After it's knocked off or it's full, it flees for a while, and proceeds to bury underground, making it important to defeat it before it does so. Until it's killed, it will keep returning. Strangely, this enemy does not appear to actually die, as it can be seen squirming while [[Carrying|carried]].

Until it's killed, it will keep returning. This enemy may possibly not actually die, as it can be seen squirming while [[Carry|carried]].
 
==Naming==
The family name, ''Whiskerpillar'', is named after its only member, the Ravenous Whiskerpillar.
 
The family's genus, ''Lepidoptera'', is a real-world {{w|Lepidoptera|order of the same name}} that contains butterflies. The word Lepidoptera means 'scaly winged', which is most likely in relation to the mature form of the Ravenous Whiskerpillar due to them being {{w|caterpillars}} and not having the usual characteristics.
