Unlike the members of the opposing gender, the Female Sheargrubs cannot attack the Captains, nor Pikmin. This is due to the lack of powerful jaws. That, along with the light pink colour, make the most distinctive differences between the males and females.
These creatures are also related to the Shearwig.

Killing strategies
Female Sheargrubs are cannon fodder and can be defeated with ease by either the Pikmin or Olimar. There is no threat at all. Leading them into water will also deplete their health.
These are creatures that cannot kill Pikmin directly. In other words, it's not in their nature to kill them. These enemies can attack captains, though. Some of them might stand and take all the damage, while others may shake attackers off. As such, they can hurt Pikmin (probably making them lose their flower/bud status), but not kill them. However, they can knock a Pikmin into an abyss or other hazard, despite not being intended. Some are helpful, while most are trouble makers.
