The Female Sheargrub (ウジンコ♀?, lit.: "Tiny Maggot ♀") is an enemy found in the Pikmin games. Unlike the members of the opposing gender, Female Sheargrubs are scavengers and do not attack leaders or Pikmin, although they will still chase them. Their behavior, along with their light pink color and relatively small jaws, is the most distinctive difference between them and males of the same species. As with Male Sheargrubs, however, they eat bridges that were built on a previous day. They provide only one or two seeds, and thus are usually not worth bringing back to the Onion.
In Pikmin 3, Female Sheargrubs regenerate health when they are underground, just like Male Sheargrubs. They can fully heal themselves in 30 seconds. When their health is at 20% or lower, they will return to their nest to bury and recover, and when they regenerate to 50%, they emerge and continue their chase, if there are leaders or Pikmin nearby. The health wheel will always be visible above the ground when they are recovering health.

Olimar's Note (Pikmin 4)
“The males of this species are purple-and-black creatures with tapered mouths, while the females are lighter in color and lack an armored exoskeleton.
As with most Mandiblards, these creatures have regressed to the point where they have lost both legs and wings. They can be seen crawling around on the ground and are believed to feed on the vegetable extracts from the congealed fluids of expired Pikmin.”Louie's Notes (Pikmin 4)

“ヒラバヒメアギトのメス。アゴがやわらかく、獲物を捕らえることはできない。成熟すると土に潜ってサナギとなり、羽化せずにサナギの中で産卵し、そのまま死んでしまう。
特徴 その1 地中から出てくる
- 普段は地中で活動しているが、餌をとるために地上に現れる。
- (Image text: ピクミンが枝をつむぐ際に分泌するかんてん状の物質を好んで食べる)
特徴 その2 大きなアゴ
- 縦に割れた平らなハサミのようなアゴ(アギト)を持っている。
- (Image text:
- 甲殻に覆われておらず、ピクミンをかむことはできない
- オス、メスともに、羽と脚は退化してなくなっている)”
Translation
“A Sheargrub female. Its jaws are soft and cannot catch prey. When mature, it burrows into the soil to form a pupa, lays eggs in the pupa without emerging, and dies soon afterwards.
Feature #1: Emerging from the ground
- They usually live underground, but emerge above ground to feed.
- (Image text: "They feed on an agar-like substance secreted by Pikmin while weaving branches")
Feature #2: Large jaws
- It has flat, scissor-like jaws that are split vertically.
- (Image text:
- "It is not covered by a shell and cannot bite Pikmin"
- "Wings and legs have degenerated and disappeared in both males and females")”
Strategy
Female Sheargrubs are harmless pests and can be defeated with ease by either the Pikmin or a leader's punches; there is no threat at all besides them pushing Pikmin around. A single Pikmin on their backs should take them out instantly. Leading them into water will also deplete their health in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, though this does not work in Pikmin 3.
