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.

Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
10 passengers can ride a diplo along with the driver.
All passengers can use weapons while in the diplo.
Rhynios can pick them up.
You have fast gunship now, use wisely.
Not every creature can βeatβ the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones canβt.
I know some that cannot:
Megatherium
Stego
Tek Creatures
Anky
Doeds
Sarco
Baryonyx
Carno
Managarmr
Some that can eat:
Wyverns
Rex
Quetzal
Maewing
Trike
With more testing we could have it set up fully and implemented into DodoDex
Taming these things are confusing, but I believe I have figured out how they work.
Step 1 is to kill a wild rhynio (can be any gendrr) to get the pheromones, next it is best to make a trap, the best design i know of is basically a stone dino gate griffin trap, but with behemoth gates. Next you want to find a high level wild female rhynio. Think of the level of the rhynio as the taming effectiveness you will recieve 150 being max. Next you need to lower the rhynio to below 10% hp, you can net them to make this easier. Once it is below 10% hp you need a mount with a high drag weight in order to inherit the best stats, carch/giga have best chances. Feed the creature the phermone and mount it. The rhynio should impregnate it within a few seconds. DO NOT CRYOPOD THE DINO IT IMPREGNATED! YOU WILL LOOSE THE BABY! once your tame is impregregnated it will go through a gestation period and ask for cravings. It is important you furfill as many as possible as they have a major effect on the level the offspring will be and the stats inherited. Once the timer is complete your dino will fall unconscious and die, however you will now have a new perfect tame rhynio!
All of the currently known cravings for host creatures include
Giga eggs
Carchars eggs
Quetzal eggs
Golden hesperornis eggs
All kibbles
Shadow steak saute
Fria curry
Enduro stew
Focal chilli
Lazarus chowder
Veggie cakes
Black pearls
Achatina paste
Gasoline
Element
Rhino horns
Ammonite bile
Bee honey
Battle tartar
Do not use your strongest dino but neither just weakest because at the end the dino that is impregnate will die and give birth to the Rhyniognatha
Can Swim
Turns sap to resin 1:1 ratio (used for abilities)
RangeD Attacks (uses resin)
Very stamina efficient
High Carry Weight (how "big" the creature it can carry)
Good Speed/Stam ratio
High Weight (item weight not creature weight)
Maneuvers well in space
Immobilization Ability
2-passenger Saddle
Carnivorous
Insect (megatherium alert)
Armor Ability (uses Resin)
Use a direwolf on ark ascended to easily tell when it is below 10% health
Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,
DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!
Ooh I cannot wait for this to be added! Able to swim (presumably) fly, and pick up rexes, it seems like an insanely cool mount! Also I'm pretty sure I'm first tip!
Big mosquito more dangerous and another use for resin very good flyer not gonna lie tame if you can

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.
