The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin games]]. Attack one by throwing a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on top of it, at which it glows red while overturning and drops a useful object; Pikmin attacking from on the ground cannot harm it. This creature disappears after a certain amount of time has passed or it has been overturned enough times. | The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin games]].

In ''[[Pikmin | In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', these bugs look rather larger than in [[Pikmin 2|the second game]] and have a slightly different coloration. They are more common, and are somewhat helpful. They are mostly found in foliage or in corners. When hit, they first drop a 1-[[pellet]], then, when hit again, they drop two doses of [[nectar]]. Upon the next direct hit more doses of nectar are released, and then a 5-pellet. This cycle repeats once more, ending after the second 5 -and swift movement. It also poses an indirect threat to Pikmin, as it will often run through Olimar's army. This results in the Pikmin automatically attacking and chasing it unless called back, which can lead them into danger. | ||

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Pikmin no longer attack Iridescent Flint Beetles automatically as they do in the original game. In all ''Pikmin 2'' [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels they're in, these creatures drop treasures. They are found in similar locations, but only drop three things: a 1-pellet (a dose of nectar if it's underground), 2 doses of nectar, and then a dose of [[ultra-spicy spray]] (3 doses of nectar if the Ultra-spicy spray hasn't been discovered yet). Using [[Purple Pikmin]], it is easier to fight them due to the shockwaves that the heavy Purple Pikmin produce when thrown. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Pikmin no longer attack Iridescent Flint Beetles automatically as they do in the original game.
