Appearance
The Doodlebug is brown and flies are around it and it has green feet.

Nintendo Player's Guide Description
They look as harmless as Female Sheargrubs, but Doodlebugs can cause a lot of trouble by emitting poisonous gas. If you manage to hit one of the scurrying critters with a Pikmin lob, it'll flip over and leave a pool of nectar. You can capsize a Doodlebug three times before it disappears.

Strategies
Doodlebugs will appear when Olimar is walking. It poisons a Pikmin except the Bulbmin and White Pikmin. It produces nectar and ultra-bitter spray and ultra-spicy spray when a Pikmin flips it over.

In order to kill it, Olimar must spray ultra-bitter spray at it and if the Pikmin attack it, it gets destroyed. Doing so does not produce a spray.
