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, and scoop up to 4 up, carry them around for a short time, and 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 at all 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.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“This creature seems to lack much space for vital organs except a large stomach which rests below its main body, and is a translucent green color. This stomach-like organ seems to function as both a method of breathing and a method of eating. Its lightweight body and larger antenna-wings make it a fast flier, and very hard to weigh down or hit at all.”

Louie's notes

“It may be mostly exoskeleton, but that doesn't mean you can't make use of it. If you ever want a bit of variety in your nachos, use .”

Shacho's notes

“They never tire, and they can carry so much weight so easily! Forget drones, trained Snitchbugs are the future of package transport!”
