The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present during both of [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] expeditions to the [[Pikmin Planet]]. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of propulsion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them toward the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas Pikmin are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf-stem state. If a Bug carries too much, it crashes into the ground and is succeptable to attack. Captain Olimar devised the tactic of hurling Pikmin at airborne Bugs, forcing them to land. It is suggested that the Scarpanids evolved from Shearwigs.

Snitchbugs can be weighed down by throwing many Pikmin (or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]] onto their body, causing them to crash to the ground and making them susceptible to attack.

The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his [[Pikmin 2|second visit]] to the Pikmin Planet. It closely resemblesthe Swooping Snitchbug in appearance and behavior, though possesses more body mass. Although it picks up leaders as it does Pikmin, it will not plant leaders in the ground. Captures leaders may struggle to free themselves or have a second leader throw yellow Pikmin to combat the Bug. Weighing the Bug down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed.
