Figworts are tall, flowering plants used as scenery in both Pikmin games. In Pikmin 1, figwort plants sport bright blue flowers. Disturbing certain clusters of plants will release a cloud of tiny flying insects, but neither the plants nor the bugs directly affect gameplay.
In Pikmin 2, figwort blossoms adopt a deep pinkish hue, which is thought to be the result of differing soil conditions; in fact, the color of some real-world flowering plants, bigleaf hydrangeas in particular, can vary from blue to pink/purple, depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the soil in which they grow. Although Pikmin 2 does not have the tiny black bugs from the first game, figworts may conceal larger creatures such as Doodlebugs or Unmarked Spectralids. In certain above-ground and cave locations, such as the Wistful Wild and White Flower Garden, dead or dormant figworts can be seen, possessing pale or red-orange leaves and without flowers.
Insects
As mentioned above, the Figwort-swarming insects; conjecturaly known as Figwort Insects, are small, indiscriminate creatures found only in Pikmin 1, which swarm briefly when Captain Olimar disturbs certain Figworts, and also a clover in The Forest of Hope. They do not affect gameplay whatsoever and can not harm Pikmin. There is no information in the game about them.
