However, it is actually in the Flint ''Bug'' family, not the Flint Beetle family.

When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of poisonous gas wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to [[hazard]]ous [[Hazard#Poison gas|poison]]. Therefore, [[White Pikmin]] are ideal for killing these creatures.

===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"They look as harmless as Female Sheargrubs, but Doodlebugs can cause a lot of trouble by emitting poisonous gas. If you manage to hit one of the scurrying critters with a Pikmin lob, it'll flip over and leave a pool of nectar. You can capsize a Doodlebug three times before it disappears."''
 
==Locations==
Doodlebugs only appear in the later caves of the game. Sublevel one in [[Frontier cavern|Frontier Cavern]] contains three doodlebugs, thus making it a good sublevel to stock up on sprays, and in [[Challenge mode|Challenge Mode]], they can even drop treasure.
==Drops==
The first direct hit with a [[Pikmin]] causes it to drop 3 drops of [[Nectar]], then the next 2 drop 1 [[Ultra Bitter Spray|Ultra Bitter Drop]] each.
 
==Battle Strategy==
Like its cousins, the Doodlebug cannot normally be harmed by captains. However, it is different from its cousins in that it remains aboveground for a much longer period of time after being prompted into surfacing and it is capable of killing your Pikmin if you are careless. It is advisable to bring either a large group of White Pikmin or a small group of Purple Pikmin, as the Doodlebug will disappear after getting flipped. Be cautious when flipping it within the proximity of other enemies, as its scuttling may awaken them.
 
Alternatively, you could use an Ultra-Bitter Spray on it and either swarm it with your Pikmin or punch it. Note that though this method is usually safer, it also gives you less reward, as the Ultra-Bitter drops that the Doodlebug drops when flipped are quite useful against future enemies.

==Trivia==
*The Doodlebug's japanese name translates to "Fart Insect."
*The Doodlebug is the only creature in the ''Pilli'' genus that can harm Pikmin.
*In real life, there is an insect called the Doodlebug, being the larval stage of the Ant Lion. The Doodlebug gets its name by the erratic patterns it runs in when looking for a place to burrow.

The Doodlebug is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It has the same morphology of the Iridescent Flint Beetle, except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant appearance. However, it is actually in the Flint Bug family, not the Flint Beetle family. They, like Iridescent Glint Beetles, drop spray - ultra-bitter spray; in Challenge Mode, they sometimes drop treasure. They are never seen above ground, and regenerate when damaged. When Doodlebugs move, they release flatulence and leave noxious clouds of poisonous gas wherever they were, thus subjecting nearby Pikmin to hazardous poison. Therefore, White Pikmin are ideal for killing these creatures.

Three of these can be found on Sublevel 1 of the Frontier Cavern.

Olimar's notes

“While life-forms that excrete foul musks to warn of danger are not rare, the doodlebug is the only species known to release flatulence when active above ground. Interestingly enough, since it is merely releasing the gas created by decay of the contents of the creature's intestines, it does not have a special musk-producing organ. This means the creature is in fact merely flatulating. Spectral analysis of the rank gas indicates it contains not only methane, but hydrogen sulfide as well, making the flatulence a Grade XIII biohazard.”
