The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

The Flying Mandibugs are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. They are small, winged creatures with Mandibug-style faces found mostly in the Honeyhive Galaxy and the Gold Leaf Galaxy. When the player approaches, the insect will most likely flee, and after a short period of time they fall onto their backs in fear and are vulnerable to attack. If Mario walks up to one while flying, he will remain unharmed. However, if approached by Bee Mario, they unfold their wings and slowly hover after him. This could possibly be because they are insects and are therefore attracted to Mario in Bee (another insect) form.
