The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' is a creature present during both of [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] expeditions to the [[Pikmin Planet]]. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them towards the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas Pikmin are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf-stem state. | The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' is a creature present during both of [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] expeditions to the [[Pikmin Planet]].
