Pikmin 2 for the Nintendo Switch has reclassified the Doodlebug into the Flint beetle family, meaning that the Flint bug family no longer exists. This page now redirects to the Flint beetle family article, as the situation is explained there.
(Fixed this page to refer to it as a mistake because I don't know how to mark pages for deletion, but it's probably a good idea to leave it for historical value since the original game still shows the wrong name.)

#REDIRECT [[Flint beetle family]]
The '''flint bug family''' is a family mistakenly born from an alternate translation to "beetle" in the English version of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' with only one known member, the [[Doodlebug]]. In the Japanese version of the game the Doodlebug had always belonged in the [[flint beetle family]]. The [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] and the [[Doodlebug]] also all belong to the genus ''Pilli'', which is a different naming [[mistake]], as it is impossible for members of different families to share a genus.

The Doodlebug is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2''. Similar to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], this bug hides in a spot underground, and when approached, it unburrows and quickly scatters around. Periodically, it stops in place to rest, providing the player with the opportunity to hit it to obtain a reward, normally a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. After resting, when it darts off to a new location, it leaves a cloud of poisonous gas behind, making [[White Pikmin]] the ideal choice for combat.

==Naming==
The name of this family comes from an alternate translation [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]'s name, but with the more generic "bug" instead of "beetle".
