== Olimar's Notes ==
{{notes|enemy}}
This specimen is representative of an insect hybrid that uses electricity in
addition to glycogen for its energy. Although difficult to confirm due to their
microscopic size, tiny hairs on the creature's legs cause the friction that
generates the electrical charge. The electrical charge is processed by the
creature's internal machina battery structure, and then stored as a deus
electrical field. As this field reaches critical levels, surplus electricity is
emitted, resulting in a low voltage current that is transmitted between
specimens. It can shock other creatures in the immediate vicinity. Considering
this process, it can be surmised that the largest impetus to pack behavior is
not so for synergetic effect of producing as a pack as it is to take advantage
of this most effective means of group perseveration.

Drain the electrical charge before boiling. Although it is
possible to eat an Anode Beetle while it is charged, doing so may result in an
unpleasant tingling sensation.

Anode Beetles are small black beetles that are covered by four yellow spots. They are named 'anode' due to the fact that they produce electrical currents if another one is nearby. This is how the creature communicates with others. However, this creature is blissfully unaware of your Pikmin, and if they approach the Beetles or the electrical current, they may be subject to electrocution, so the best way to beat them is either using Yellow Pikmin and/or Purple Pikmin and then swarming. Purple Pikmin, thanks to their homing ability and shock waves, can flip these from a distance as well, making them a better choice if you're in a hurry.
