In Pikmin: Elemental Speciation
The Roving Snitchbug is a type of snitchbug that wanders across a large area of the map. It will swoop at Pikmin at high speeds, scoop up to four up, carry them around for a short time, then put them into its translucent green abdomen, and then fly away to snatch more Pikmin later. The more Pikmin it carries, the slower it will move, and the longer it will linger after stealing Pikmin. It cannot be brought down from the air very easily without carrying any Pikmin at all due to its powerful wings. When it is killed, its abdomen pops, and the Pikmin within are released. If defeated while in the air, the Pikmin it holds are planted into the ground, but if it is grounded before defeat, the Pikmin are just deflowered one stage, from bud to leaf or flower to bud.

This creature's name is based on a combination of the Latin word lata, which means wide, and Pella, which is similar to the Latin word for feather, penna.
