Kabutomushi are beetles that appear as enemies in Donkey Kong 3. They appear starting from round 18 (12 in the NES version) and go down to the bottom of the screen, just like Attackers, and then charge across full speed, attempting to hit Stanley.
In Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū, Kabutomushi fly in groups that reach the bottom of the screen. Only a single formation of Kabutomushi can exist at a time. Kabutomushi move very slowly, but like Beespies, they do not fire projectiles at Stanley. They make their first appearance in By the Pyramid, the eleventh stage. They take one hit to defeat, and give 30 points.
