{{transcript|Steeliprax hide in the grass during the day, but they're quite active at night, gathering food to turn into pellets. Steeliprax keep undigested food pellets in their stomachs as food for the winter months, but they will spit them out given the correct stimulus. These pellets seem to be enveloped in a membrane that seals and preserves them in a sterile, airtight environment. If kept at room temperature, this pellet membrane seems to keep its contents from spoilage for up to six months. I also believe that the membrane is made from the same substance that gives the exoskeleton of the steeliprax its beautiful appearance.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Pikmin will automatically attack the elusive and harmless flint beetle when it appears. If your Pikmin defeat it, a pellet will appear.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Pikmin hold a deep hatred for flint beetles. Whenever they spot their shiny shell, they become possessed by rage and will attack without being commanded to do so. Usually, their efforts are unsuccessful.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Squirrely Flint Beetles hold nectar. They won't harm your Pikmin, but they won't stand and let you defeat them, either. If you're on the trail of an Iridescent Flint Beetle, anticipate when it will stop moving, aim, then hit it with a quick accurate toss.|block=y}}

{{transcript|The Iridescent Flint Beetle is a harmless burrowing creature. Attacking the creature generally yields a nice supply of pellets and Nectar.

==Trivia==

*The European version of the ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy advises players to flip the creature over with a [[Purple Pikmin]] and then having them attack it. This strategy doesn't make much sense, and was likely [[mistake]]n for the [[Anode Beetle]] instead, which lacks a trophy.

*Prior to the release of {{p2s}}, the Doodlebug was [[mistake]]nly referred to as belonging to the "Flint bug family" in the English version, even though it were claimed to share the same genus as the Iridescent Flint Beetle. In the Japanese [[region|version]] of {{p2}}, the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug have always shared the same family.
