It, in every way excluding size and color, resembles a [[Female Sheargrub]]. They are known to follow [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] from a distance, and can distract your swarm as a result. 
The '''Swarming Sheargrub''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It can drink [[nectar]] to grow and weigh down objects so [[Pikmin]] can't carry them. They can also push Pikmin and the Leaders.

They move around in "swarms" at high speed (fastest of any known Mandiblard). They have no form of offense but can move quickly, taking any attacking Pikmin with them. Should they come across any [[nectar]], they will consume it and grow in size.
{{Enemies}}
 
When they spot a salvagable object, such as a [[fruit]], pellet, or carcass, they will jump and sit on top of it, weighing it down, requiring more Pikmin in order to carry the fruit. The larger they are, the more they will weigh.
 
While they are an annoying hindrance to the player, they are easily defeated like any other type of Mandiblard. However, once a single member of a swarm is killed, the rest will disperse and run away and incredibly fast speeds. It is advised to call all Pikmin back at this point, as they will attempt to chase the fleeing Sheargrubs, only to end up getting themselves lost.

==Trivia==
*The Swarming Sheargrub is the only member of the Mandiblard family without a known gender distinction.
*These are the only known enemies that can increase in size by consuming an item.
*If no enemy is around, and you see captain messages in the Tropical Wilds, it is likely to be these.
