Screeching Beetle

The Screeching Beetle is a species of kettlebug that produces noises so deafening that Pikmin affected by it won't respond to the whistling of leaders.

In Pikmin 2... Again?
Screeching Beetles are enemies in Pikmin 2... Again? resembling smaller Antenna Beetles with a speaker-like mouth. They produce deafening screeches over a long distance, preventing Pikmin from hearing the leaders' whistles, or anything else for that matter, for two seconds. It tries to hop away from Pikmin trying to attack it but will fall if a Pikmin lands directly on top of it, struggling in place for some seconds until it can right itself.
