'''Antenna Beetle'''
The '''Antenna Beetle''' ({{j|カマドフマ|Kamadofuma|{{w|Rhaphidophoridae|Cave Cricket}}}}) is a type of [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' which distracts [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Antenna Beetles use their wings to produce sounds of a high pitch, which interferes with the [[Treasure Gauge]] and attracts nearby Pikmin, similar to the [[whistle]]. This noise overrides any commands issued by a [[leader]], so the Antenna Beetle can take command of any Pikmin that are nearby, which can indirectly harm Pikmin by leading them into a [[hazard]]. The only way to regain control of the Pikmin is to kill the enemy or force it to leap away again.


'''''Mesmeri raiocontra'''''
The enemy periodically jumps high in the air and returns to the ground, stumbling as it lands. It can be prompted to jump again by attacking it or approaching it often. It can be attacked by [[swarm]]ing it as it lands or [[throw]]ing Pikmin on top of it. If a Pikmin lands on it, it will roll over, not much different from an [[Anode Beetle]]. [[Purple Pikmin]] may also stun it if thrown on top, preventing it from getting up and jumping away.


'''Antenna Beetles''' are creatures in Pikmin 2 that are an exceptional nuisance. They create extremely loud noises with their wings that are so loud, the supersonic waves disrupt the signal on the [[Treasure Gauge]]. Also, they are able to take command of any Pikmin that are nearby; the only way to get them back is to kill it, or make it jump away. Having your Pikmin captured could be dangerous, because this creature may lead them into a hazard. If this creature is swarmed, it will be frightened and jump very high and far. Eventually, it will stumble and fall back down. This also occurs if you get near it, or punch it with your pilots. The best way to beat it is to throw your Pikmin on it. [[Purple Pikmin]] work the best, as they may stun it, preventing it from getting up and jumping away.
The Antenna Beetle is relatively rare, found in only a few [[cave]]s. The Treasure Gauge fluttering about and flashing a pinkish color is an indication that an Antenna Beetle is on the current sublevel.


You will find it only in specific sublevels of certain caves. You will know immediately if one is in the area because the Treasure Gauge will go haywire, glow purple, and make malfunctioning bleeps.
Pikmin under its control are immune to most dangers, as they follow the same rules as wild Bulbmin. This means that they are ignored by enemies and only killed by crushing and hazards, though explosions will knock them back. The real danger is when the Antenna Beetle hops away and the Pikmin become idle.

== Olimar's Notes ==
{{refs|note}}
This creature is able to control the pikmin by way of the peculiar frequency of
its roar, but its only objective seems to be defensive in nature, as it stops
pikmin from attacking and forces them to run away. This beast prefers humid,
dimly-lit environments, and has been known to inhabit empty and discarded
containers. For this reason, it's wise to thoroughly ventilate any specimens
that are recovered. Lifting off with one of these creatures in the hold can
lead to a rupturing of the specimen during compression, resulting in an
explosive mess.

EMP Blast (Electromagnetic Pulse): Independent research has also revealed that not only do these bugs make loud roars, but also a strange electromagnetic pulse. The theory states that this pulse scrambles the brains of the pikmin, making them follow the source of the radiation (the beetle).
==Naming==
{{naming
|common    = Antenna Beetle. The creature is called that due to it "whistling" an area around it, perhaps using its antennae, or perhaps because it mimics the way a [[spacesuit]]'s antenna shakes when a [[leader]] is [[Whistle|whistling]].
|jpcommon  = {{j|カマドフマ|Kamadofuma}}. It is similar to {{j|カマドウマ|kamadouma|{{w|Rhaphidophoridae|cave cricket}}|f=tp}}.
|jpname    = {{j|フエフキカマドフマ|Fuefuki Kamadofuma|Flute Playing Kamadofuma}}.
|scientific = ''Mesmeri raiocontra''. ''Mesmeri'' is similar to the English word "[[wiktionary:mesmerize|mesmerize]]", and ''raiocontra'' could be considered a combination of ''raio'' and ''contra''. ''Raio'', in this context, is Portuguese for "beam", and ''contra'' is Latin for "counter", maybe referring to how the whistle's "beam" is used to counter the Pikmin's aggressiveness.
|internal  = Internally, the creature is called <code>fuefuki</code>, which in Japanese is {{j|ふえふき|fuefuki|Flute Player|f=tp}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Roulette Wheel Antenna Beetle.png|right|The unused icon.]]
*There is an unused image of the Antenna Beetle in the style of [[2-Player Battle]]'s roulette icons, implying that at some point in development there may have been a powerup to spawn an Antenna Beetle near the opponent.
*If the Antenna Beetle is killed while Pikmin are in its control, the Pikmin will [[panic]] and scream, like [[Bulbmin]] when their leading adult is killed.
