The Doodlebug is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is the same in general appearance to the Iridescent Flint Beetle, except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant look. 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.
