The '''Spornet''' ({{j|ワタオトシバチ|Wata Otosi Bachi|Cotton Dropping Bee}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}. It is a small flying insectoid creature with a large, glowing abdomen. It has a yellow face and blue body with two small antennae and big red eyes. It attacks by hovering in the sky with its bee-like wings, and dropping toxic spores on [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. | The '''Spornet''' ({{j|ワタオトシバチ|Wata Otosi Bachi|Cotton Dropping Bee}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}.

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. | Spornets can be taken out with a single Pikmin throw.
