The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' is a creature found in both [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion.

The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature found in both Pikmin games. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey with their claws. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them towards the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas Pikmin are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf-stem state. These creatures can be brought to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single Purple Pikmin, rendering it susceptible to further attack. Ultra-bitter sprays may also be used to freeze it in mid-air, causing it to drop to the ground, which is arguably easier, but of course produces no corpse, and may be considered a waste of sprays. Occasionally in Pikmin 2 in caves such as the Subterranean Complex, a Swooping Snitchbug might accidentally throw a Pikmin into the abyss below, killing it.
The position of the Swooping Snitchbug in the Enemy Reel, which is otherwise alphabetical, indicates that the creature's name may originally have started with "flying".
