The '''Bumbling Snitchbug''' is an enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. It resembles the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] a lot in appearance and behavior, though possessing more body mass. It acts like the Swooping Snitchbug, but instead of the Pikmin, it picks up the leaders/you [[Captain Olimar]], [[Louie]] and [[President of Hocotate Freight|The President]]. Notice however, unlike its cousin, it flies up higher, so high, you either need to shake your captain off by repeatedly tapping or tilting sticks and buttons, or use your [[Yellow Pikmin]] to get the Snitchbug down. It obviously doesn't plant the leaders in the ground, but instead hurts them. The method of defeat is the same as that of the Swooping Snitchbug; throw Pikmin at it until it drops, then swarm it. [[Purple Pikmin|Purples]] also work well in bringing it down. A [[Bumbling Snitchbug Glitch|glitch]] may occur if the Snitchbug throws you and you kept using the Control Stick and A-button to get off of the bug.
The '''Bumbling Snitchbug''' is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his [[Pikmin 2|second vist]] to the Pikmin Planet. It closely resemblesthe Swooping Snitchbug in appearance and behavior, though possesses more body mass. Although it picks up leaders as it does Pikmin, it will not plant leaders in the ground.

The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his second vist to the Pikmin Planet. It closely resemblesthe Swooping Snitchbug in appearance and behavior, though possesses more body mass. Although it picks up leaders as it does Pikmin, it will not plant leaders in the ground. Captures leaders may struggle to free themselves or have a second leader throw yellow Pikmin to combat the Bug. Weighing the Bug down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed.

Olimar's Notes

This is a variety of snitchbug. It's most interesting characteristic is that it likes to snitch leaders. Yet barring wanton carelessness or incompetence, leaders are not easily captured. Any leader caught by this creature is clearly an idiot, which is why this creature is also known as the exposing snitchbug. There are several known varieties of snitchbug, but research has stagnated despite being such an interesting species.

Louie's Notes

Remove the wings and discard the remainder of the beast. Enjoy the luxurious, wafer-thin wings with fine water-dumple caviar.
