U guys its kinda easy to counter these guys. Get an allo (I recomend leading it to the river and then using a sarco ti easliy outswim them and put tranqs in its face), level up its health to like 6k and put as many levels into melee after. I got an allo right after unlocking the sarco saddle and i found an allo saddle in a red drop. Then you have a rhynio killer. I’ve taken on packs of three on mobile by just running wildly when they start shooting and when the come down you can rip them apart with the super fast dps. If you see more than 2 of them though, I suggest just maneuvering around cuz they are not easy opponents. Bring this to the top for others.

Don't forget you guys, we can craft insect repellent to appear invisible to these guys!! This trick also works for taming Scorps or Spiders with rotten meat. Bump it to the top for those who are rusty!
If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
Pro tip: NEVER under ANY circumstances fly a PT anywhere NEAR the swamp. Dododex says they are rare, but you can get four swarming you at once. This will save your life, controller, and pt.
I was just flying near the redwoods to looks around when one of these freaks pulled up on me and my pt. I didn’t realize they were in the new mobile version so I screamed and tried to run away (it caught up) and I had to dismount my pt and run for it. DO NOT GO NEAR ANY SWAMP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED. THEY ARE SCARY.
Only spawn when you don’t want them to
Rare??? My ass rare... They spawn in 3-5 stack literally in redwood around swamp area... Yeah they have alreay eaten around 17 pteranodon, 1 iguana, 1 trike, 20 human and lots of my stuff hardly crafted and looted.
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
In my experience in ASA on the island, i usually one ever get 1 or 2 spawn at once at the swamp. Also in my experience they have fairly low torpor and a simple pistol wrecks them.
In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy
So basically the swamp is a no fly zone like the redwoods all because of these oversized locusts. They somehow fly faster than a pteranodon and can shoot sap. Learned it the hard way twice by losing 2 tamed high level pteranodons.
