'''Decorated Cannon Beetles''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">フタクチミヤビ) </span>are enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They have an appearance similar to [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e, but are red instead of green, and have orange eyes. Also, this particular species is never found buried in the ground like Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae. They, too, spit out rocks, but their rocks home in on the currently active [[captain]] due to the magnetic field which envelops the boulders (which can be used to your advantage however). However, the stones have odd characteristics. First of all, when they are found in [[cave]]s which are made of metal (which is rusty, indicating it contains iron), the spacesuits are the only thing the boulders home in on. The rocks are also surprisingly frail. If slowed by water, a rock can be destroyed by a punch or a [[Purple Pikmin]]. Even though it is called a Cannon Beetle, it is actually a Cannon Beetle larva.

Similar to the Red and Green Koopa Shells from the ''Mario Kart'' series, the Decorated Cannon Beetles (which are red) are homing, while the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva (which are green) are not.
