The Shearflea is an [[enemy]] found in {{p4}}. They are small reddish creatures that resemble fleas. They can be found in several caves and the [[Hero's Hideaway]]. Unlike most enemies, when they grab a Pikmin, they don't instantly try to eat them. They instead attempt to jump away from the player and then eat them.

The family's name, ''Springjab'', can be split up into two words: ''spring'' and ''jab''. The word spring means to 'move or jump suddenly or rapidly upwards or forwards' which is in relation to how the Shearflea hops around. The word jab means to 'poke roughly or quickly, especially with something sharp or pointed', this is in relation to the way the Shearfleas attack their prey, using their spike-like mouth.
 
The family's genus, ''Suprictis'', can be split up into two parts: ''supri'' and ''ctis''. The first part, ''supri'' could be derived from the english word suprise meaning 'an unexpected or astonishing event, fact, etc.' The second part ''ctis'' could be derived from the latin word ctus meaning 'shot'. Putting these together results in 'surprise shot' which could be in relation to how the Shearflea would attack by surprising its prey with unexpected shots with their spike-like mouth.
