**[[Pollution Pool]]: They only appear briefly near the end of the level, close to the [[bridge]] that must be built. They act as an obstacle that the player must be careful of while their [[Blue Pikmin]] build the bridge. They can be killed, but it is however difficult because the player can't bring Yellow Pikmin until the bridge is built.

**[[Fragrant Forest]]: Several Spornets are also found throughout this level. About halfway through the level, there is an open spaced room with two [[doorway]]s in the area's "backside". Next to each of the doorways is a Spornet. Two more appear in the section after you go through the doorway. These are a bit trickier to defeat, since their higher and above a stick. The final one is close to a [[vine]] leading to the [[Ominous Vault]].

**[[Gale-Force Glen]]: Spornets appear quite commonly in this level. There are small groups of about two scattered across the level, usually above sticks and [[Minor obstacles#Leaf platform|leaf platform]]s. They are relatively easy to defeat, since the level supplies the player with [[Winged Pikmin]] and not too much appear at once.

{{Guide}}
Spornets can be taken out with a single Pikmin throw. They are often found high above the ground, and are best dealt with using Yellow Pikmin. Although groups of them can be overwhelming, killing one will immediately destroy its spore, if it's currently falling. With good aim, you can kill the Spornet before the Pikmin hits the spore.
 
They can also die by touching a platform that is moving up, like the can in [[The Hollow Sky]].{{cite youtube|jl6Ufp4LZCU|where a Spornet dies by touching the rising can|m=53|s=12|published={{date|22|July|2023}}|retrieved={{date|17|August|2023}}}}

{{todo|Add the Japanese name's description.}}
The Spornet’s name is a portmanteau of the words “spore” and “hornet”. The spore part of its name comes from its purple spore-like projectiles, and the hornet part of its name is due to the fact they  resemble hornets. Additionally, the family name “Fuzzbuzz” is a portmanteau of fuzz (referring to the Spornet’s fuzzy abdomen), and buzz (referring to the sound a bee, or hornet makes).
