Scientific name: ''Pilli flatularum'' | |||
The Doodlebug is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. 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. | The Doodlebug is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

Scientific name: ''Pilli envelopens'' | |||
The Iridescent Flint Beetle is an enemy in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}. It is harmless and has a tough carapace to defend itself with, making it invulnerable to attacks. It dwells underground in fixed spots, but when approached, it emerges and scuttles around in a panic. Occasionally, it stops and provides an opportunity for the player to throw a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto its back, making it flip and release a reward. | The Iridescent Flint Beetle is an enemy in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}.

Scientific name: ''Pilli envelopens striaticus'' | |||
In {{p3}}, a subspecies of this one appears, distinguished by its carapace's spotted pattern rather than striped. Otherwise, it behaves identically to the original variant. | In {{p3}}, a subspecies of this one appears, distinguished by its carapace's spotted pattern rather than striped.

Scientific name: ''Lithelytra sisyphons'' | |||
The Stony Flint Beetle is an enemy in {{hp}}. It uses its back legs to push rocks and prevent passage through corridors. It is the only flint beetle to possess wings, which it uses to fly away after the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] push the rock into a hole. | The Stony Flint Beetle is an enemy in {{hp}}.
