Female Sheargrubs are enemies found in both Pikmin games. Unlike the members of the opposing gender, they are scavengers and do not attack the Captains or Pikmin. Their behavior, along with their light pink color and relatively small jaws, is the most distinctive differences between the males and females of the species. As with Male Sheargrubs, however, they eat bridges that were built on a previous day.
Notes
Olimar's Notes
The males of this species are purple and black creatures with tapered mouths, while the females are lighter in color and lack an armored exoskeleton. As with most mandiblards, these creatures have regressed to the point where they have lost both legs and wings. They can be seen crawling around on the ground and are believed to feed on the vegetable extracts from the congealed fluids of expired Pikmin.
Louie's Notes
For an unforgettable quiche, slice this creature up and mix with four eggs, two vine-ripened tomatoes, dried zucchini, and generous handfuls of feta and swiss. Bake until crusty and golden. This beast is most flavorable if caught and cooked just after laying its eggs.
Killing strategies
Female Sheargrubs are cannon fodder and can be defeated with ease by either the Pikmin or Olimar. There is no threat at all. Leading them into water will also deplete their health.

In PR these are more evolved and can fly for brief periods. They are still cannon fodder, though.

Female sheargrubs reappear in Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War, and are as easy as before. They appear so far in The Temple of Ice.

Mandiblard Family
This is the female of a species that prey on pikmin. Only males have the nutrients to develop a harder jaw, so the females' squishy mandibles don't help it kill pikmin.
Ship's Notes
Hmmm... I wonder what it would be like to be a Female Sheargrub: "HAHA! DIE PIKMIN!" Squish... squish... squish... "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!? HAAAAAAAAAAAAX!!!"

Tikes notes
These creatures have a thing for birth rates. Although according to my analysis, they give birth to males a lot more often then females. I wonder why this is the case? Despite the facts, it seems that females have a larger life span then the males. I actually believethat the white color is from aging. I checked and every male are mainly younger. Ermm who knows?
Alices notes
What delicate and polite creatures. Though they love to eat wood. Actually in truth they only eat wood. I know I'm picky, but come on they're plenty of soft food to eat... wait they can chow wood, but... Never mind. They tend to keep very friendly intensions with the males, but I do wish the males... you know could give the females more respect.
Captain pikmin notes
I actually feel bad for killing these helpless creatures... they sadly are that easy.
