Tips & Strategies

Your best bet against these flying cockroaches is to have a fast tame like a gallimimus, beelzebufo any tame that you can shot on from and just lure 1 at a time towards a big wild dino to distract them and then start shooting at a unholy rate of crossbow or rifle bullets/arrows into that thing. Do not worry, it shouldnt agro on you even if you shot it from a fair distance while its attacking something else, they only got about 1.4 k hp at base, depending on the levels. Even with a primitive rifle or crossbow with 14 arrows you can make quick work of it BUT, as low as their hp might be, doesent mean they wont rip you apart. They did not have to add those things to mobile.

If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
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!
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.
This annoying creature jumped me early on on my first parasaur while I was looking for raptors, just run if its early game, try
First time I ran into this nightmare, I was flying about the swamp and redwood area with my newly tamed argy, the first tamed argy actually. I saw it and thought yeah i'mma tame this too.*equips bow, *loads tranq arrows, *pinpoint accuracy. Big bug now is aggrod on me and is coming closer and realise, this isn't a big bug, it's a pissed off unit heading towards me.
First hit, argy was on passive... Rushes the bug, gets folded like an omelette.
Me at this point, just genuinely flabbergasted by the sheer brute force the bug exhibits.
Died trying to tranq it (only managed 2 shots)
For any noob, see this thing, RUN
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
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.
THESE FLYING FREAKS ARE IN THE NEW MOBILE, I WASNT AWARE AND I LOST A SQUAD OF 3 PTS AND 2 TAPIS LIKE DAMN BRO WHAT ARE THESE GIANT AH GRASSHOPERS ON FENT
