Jackwig

Jackwigs are a member of the mandiblard family appearing in Pikmin 4: The World to Free. They are well known for their bad temperaments, wasplike markings, and poison stingers. Their bright coloration warns predators to stay away. Jackwigs swarm and continually sting any creature larger than themselves to ward them away from their hive, and eat any smaller than them, such as Pikmin. They often build nests underground to create colonies but are known also to build nests on bramble gates, rebuilding or repairing them when necessary. Jackwigs do not eat stick bridges.
