#REDIRECT [[Flint beetle family]]
{{game icons|p2=y}}
The '''flint bug family''' is a family mistakenly born from an alternate translation to "beetle" in the English version of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' with only one known member, the [[Doodlebug]]. In the Japanese version of the game the Doodlebug had always belonged in the [[flint beetle family]]. The [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] and the [[Doodlebug]] also all belong to the genus ''Pilli'', which is a different naming [[mistake]], as it is impossible for members of different families to share a genus.

The Doodlebug is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2''. Similar to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], this bug hides in a spot underground, and when approached, it unburrows and quickly scatters around. Periodically, it stops in place to rest, providing the player with the opportunity to hit it to obtain a reward, normally a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. After resting, when it darts off to a new location, it leaves a cloud of poisonous gas behind, making [[White Pikmin]] the ideal choice for combat.

==Naming==
