They drop cementing paste which is used for lots of things.

Basically just murder them for your own survival. Their purpose is just to be murdered for xp and oil. I recommend killing the quickly so you don’t feel bad.

Don’t follow it when it’s in the air or else you might find yourself in a ditch somewhere.

Press e to gather oil from pink ones or drink water from blue ones. They regain oil/water over time as well.

U can't tame this weird water filled giant firefly

Make a pen use grappler to Bing it inside make sure there is no door then bring it and let go of your grappeler an place a door behind you = free oil or water

The blue ones give you water and the red ones give you oil which is essential later on

This thing can save your life on scorched,some of them give water,and other give oil.

You can use a grappling hook to drag them into a holding pen, and then you can continue to milk the bug

Up to 16 oil for the red jug bugs

Jug bugs, like literally all other ark creatures, can be tamed with forcetame. Only way to get one as a pet.

Useful until you find and make a base by a Water Vein

Bola one then build a wood house around it boom now you have infinite water and oil

They are everywhere on scorched earth XD

I wish but it’s only force tame

Good source of water early game!
