The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' ({{j|サライムシ|Sarai Mushi|Kidnapping Bug}}) is a creature found in the main four [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and {{hp}}. Swooping Snitchbugs are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They swoop down, as their name suggests, and grab their prey with their claws – a maximum of two at once. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them towards the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are simply replanted and reverted to their original [[Maturity|leaf stage]] in the first two games (in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', their maturity remains the same). They are also able to pick up the [[leader]]s in ''Pikmin 3'', much like [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s do in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' – if they don't [[button mashing|escape]], they will be tossed to the ground and [[health|damaged]].

These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' or a single [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''. This renders it susceptible to further attack. [[Ultra-bitter spray]]s 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.

Scarpanids are attracted by the sight of large groups of Pikmin in cavalry formation and will swoop down to seize them. However, Scarpanids do not eat Pikmin, and they will drop any seized Pikmin after a short time.

When you encounter a Swooping Snitchbug, use your Winged Pikmin to attack the creature until it falls to the ground, then use your squad to finish the vulnerable enemy. If you don't have any Winged Pikmin, just wait for the Swooping Snitchbug to stop moving before you attack with whatever Pikmin are available.|block=y}}
