To tame a Rhyniognatha:
1. Kill a Rhyniognatha so it drops Rhyniognatha Pheromone.
2. Transfer the Pheromone to a large dino's inventory and make it eat it.
3. Find a female Rhyniognatha and reduce its health to under 10%.
4. The female will then impregnate your dino.
5. Feed your dino the foods it requests until your Rhyniognatha is born.

Rhyniognatha is a species of insect from the Early Devonian period, around 400 million years ago. It is considered to be one of the earliest known relatives of modern insects. It was added to ARK: Survival Evolved on June 2, 2023 after winning the Community Vote contest on February 10, 2023, but details on its in-game function and capabilities have not been revealed yet. Given the limited information on the real-world insect, it's unclear how might ARK might interpret this creature, however, the winning entry depicted it as massive and ridable, with the ability to carry a Rex or even a Plesiosaurus.
