The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' ({{j|サライムシ|Sarai Mushi|Kidnapping Bug}}) is a creature found in the main four [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and {{hp}}. | The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' ({{j|サライムシ|Sarai Mushi|Kidnapping Bug}}) is a creature found in the main four [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and {{hp}}. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They swoop down, as their name suggests, and grab their prey with their claws – a maximum of two at once. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them towards the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are simply replanted and reverted to their original [[Maturity|leaf stage]] in the first two games (in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', their maturity remains the same). They are also able to pick up the [[leader]]s in ''Pikmin 3'', much like [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s do in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' – if they don't [[button mashing|escape]], they will be tossed to the ground and [[health|damaged]]. | ||
These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' or a single [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''. This renders it susceptible to further attack. [[Ultra-bitter spray]]s may also be used to freeze it in mid-air, causing it to drop to the ground, which is arguably easier, but of course produces no corpse, and may be considered a waste of sprays. | These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' or a single [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''.

They also gained more realistic compound eyes compared to the glass-like eyes with pupils from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''.

In ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]'', the body is now a much darker green with the head and arms being a pale yellow and their lower arms also now resemble the [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]'s arms in shape, their antennae have once again changed color to orange to a dark maroonish red, and they also return to having the less realistic eyes from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' but are missing the red to yellow gradient that they have in every other game. | In ''[[Hey!

{{transcript|The scarpanids originally lived on the ground with poorly developed vestigial wings. This species developed enlarged antennae that can be used as functioning wings. Scarpanids are attracted by the sight of large groups of Pikmin in cavalry formation and will swoop down to seize them. However, scarpanids do not eat Pikmin, and they will drop any seized Pikmin after a short time. The reason for this activity is as yet unknown, but I look forward to future research in the area.}} | {{transcript|The scarpanids originally lived on the ground with poorly developed vestigial wings.

When you encounter a Swooping Snitchbug, use your Winged Pikmin to attack the creature until it falls to the ground, then use your squad to finish the vulnerable enemy. If you don't have any Winged Pikmin, just wait for the Swooping Snitchbug to stop moving before you attack with whatever Pikmin are available.|block=y}} | When you encounter a Swooping Snitchbug, use your Winged Pikmin to attack the creature until it falls to the ground, then use your squad to finish the vulnerable enemy.

The same strategies from all three games can be applied here. Additionally, if a Swooping Snitchbug grabs at least one [[Purple Pikmin]], it will lift them up before immediately collapsing on the ground; the same thing happens if the player had knocked it out of the air mid-combat. | The same strategies from all three games can be applied here.

There is a rare glitch in ''Pikmin'': once you've knocked the Swooping Snitchbug down to the ground, throw your Pikmin onto the creature and swarm it with all of the other Pikmin, which should kill it. Then, carry it back to the Onions by swarming the corpse. Later, you will notice the Pikmin you threw on the squirming Swooping Snitchbug are floating in the air, making the attacking motion as if they are attacking something invisible. | There is a rare glitch in ''Pikmin'': once you've knocked the Swooping Snitchbug down to the ground, throw your Pikmin onto the creature and swarm it with all of the other Pikmin, which should kill it.
