If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there. Press the uppy so all the mobile player can see.

A similar level spino with at least 2000 health should be able to beat one of these buggers if fought only on ground close range

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.

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

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.

Y’all is that thing on survival evolved as well?

Giant bugs are offensive to my health

I lost 4 of my flyers to this thing and every time i am near swamp this mf comes outs of nowhere and attack my dino not me my dino u mf and i used to thought it was rare or something but I don’t think so right now and thats why i am going to tame this mf to take my revenge by killing his kind 🙂

New mobile is borderline unplayable and ruined bc the spawn rate of these is to high. Ark needs to dial back the spawn on these.

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!

If you’re on a mid to low level ptero or argy, listen for the sound of what sounds like a helicopter. If that sound is near you, you will probably die. Or at least your tame will…. These have the strength and hp of a spino or Rex, and they have one of the widest aggro ranges I’ve ever seen. Give plenty of distance.

I hope this guys rots in h*ll🙂....lost 4 pt,1 trike and over 50 humans,not to talk of all my shi that got lost😭....this mf killed my lv 120 pt and I still can't recover🙂......am gonna get a high lv one of these things and give a full day to use it to kill it's kind

Turn around and kill it with shotgun, if you don't have a strong gun you might think you can run your way out but you can't, you're dead

They spawn in the swamps on both the island and lost island, (no other maps unfortunately). The swamp up near the flat area and griffin mountain is where they are found on lost island, NOT the jungle. This is considered a late-game tame, and if you do get one of your dinosaurs impregnated, DO NOT cryo it cuz the baby will die. Hoped this helps and happy taming!

I recommend using a pump action shotgun to take this thing down. I tried to tame one once and it killed my pt named Greenbean (see the pteranodon entry for his story) but I actually managed to get one. It was only level 7 because I couldn’t give the Bronto host the element it was craving.
