Enemies that reappear

In Pikmin 2's above ground areas, you can kill enemies that just happen to be above ground. If you enter a cave though and come back out, there can be enemies that still respawn unlike most enemies after a couple of days. There are a number of reasons why this happens. One is that the enemy is one that holds a treasure. If you killed the enemy but didn't get the treasure, it will ingest the object again and you'll have to defeat it again. If you already have the treasure, the enemy will still reappear if you've beaten it anyway. Other enemies are weak ones that happen to reappear just because they were programmed to.
