Figwort: Difference between revisions

In the first game, disturbing certain flower clusters will unleash a swarm of tiny black bugs sometimes referred to by fans simply as "Figwort insects." They fly around briefly and quickly retreat, but cannot be harmed by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and do not affect gameplay whatsoever. These bugs have been known to congregate around [[Clover]]s as well, but are usually found within Figworts. No information about them is provided in the game. The plants they inhabit also show no signs of disease, so the relationship between the insects and plants is likely mutualism.
