The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present in all three ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]''. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey, though this species only grabs the Pikmin, not the leaders. After carrying the prey for a few seconds, they violently throw it toward the ground, which forces the Pikmin to be replanted and revert to its leaf [[Maturity|stage]]. Snitchbugs can be weighed down by [[throw]]ing many Pikmin (or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]]) onto their body, causing them to crash to the ground and making them susceptible to attack. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', throwing a [[Rock Pikmin]] at the creature will cause it to fall to the ground, and they replace the role of Bumbling Snitchbugs by gaining the ability to grab | The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present in all three ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]''.
