DO NOT PANIC ! These things are scary and powerful but there is an easy way of getting rid of them that works every time for me, just run/fly into another dino that is there natural prey (this means that they attack it when wild). For example, I always bump into a paracetharium when chased by those and they completely abandon me !

However, you will probably still take a few hits, so always come with an argy or bulky ptera.

P.S. : I am on the new mobile version, so I don’t know whether this works for PC too, but I’m quite sure it does

I hate these motherfuc***s with all my heart.

I tamed a level 150 ptero and later increased its level upto 256 she was perfect perfect. I was traveling all around map within few seconds but when I sit to rest and gain stamina, a group of these assh*les attack me and kill my Potterz, miss you buddy 🥲.

They are literally the worst on ark mobile ultimate edition.

Not rare, incredibly aggressive, and like to wander. I tamed myself a lvl 60 thyla and it got killed on the way home by these guys as I was running away. Luckily, I got it back by cheating slightly(back up save… it’s literally a savior for crappy situations). I’m planning on taming a spino (my favorite tame ever) so that I can travel in the swamps again but with the ability to destroy these idiot supersized mosquitoes. Good luck you guys, stay away from the swamp if you can help it🤣

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.

I live in a swamp, and I'm new to the game. One day, I saw one of these creatures and thought, "I wonder what that is?" Curious, I foolishly ran up to it to get a closer look since I didn’t have a telescope yet. For some reason, the creature didn’t attack me right away; we just stared at each other for a minute, and I thought it was some kind of passive creature.

Then, one of my friends came along and said, “Yo! Bro, I finally found you! Hey, do you have wood and—Holy sh@t! What the f@ck, bro? Run!” He started screaming into his mic when he saw it. The bug then for some reason attacked him instead and only later did I realize what the hell that thing was when he explained to me what the big was.

These mf are basically pack hunters(the don't spawn in packs) There are so many of them togather in the swamp and around the swamp. If two of them are close they will target the same creature even if a creature is closer to one of the rhynignathas then the other one is to that rhynignathas. I traped a rhynignathas to tame one and when I came back there were two, the other one came out of nowhere and started attacking the same structure as the one that was trapped so be careful when you are trying to tame one by trappeing one.

This thing has ruined the ark mobile for me. The swamps and redwoods impassable at the moment. These things infest the region between the swamp and redwood. As soon as it senses you anywhere near, this pest will just buzz toward you and spit a mouthful vomit that will just root you in place. Thats what it is just a pest, I really would like option to purge this thing from the map since it is really OP. I dont know why they would put this on any starter map or region. This thing belong in abyss in aberration or a top some volcano. I cant even tame a doed to build my fort because of this thing. Just have to run around with axe and pick like a fn savage now. They also fight very dirty, they swarm in packs and stay within range and just fire away acidic vomit at you. Very few starting dinos will be able to counter this fiend, usually only if it settles, then you can whack it a few times. Metal spear is practically useless and you die before you can pull out a bow. Seriously F this thing man.

I was lvl 50 something When I died near volcano with my ptera while tamming an argy and spawned back at my base I used my high lvl triceratops (247 something) to go back to volcano that's when I encountered this beasts it killed me and my trike very brutally and after that I had to start again I lost all my stuff at volcano it despawned and then later when I leveled up high enough to unlock spino saddle I tamed an spino of lvl 80 and took my revenge by killing 6-7 of this mosquitoes (not all at same time) I would not recommend going near swamps until you are high leveled or have a powerful and speed dino which can easily take on them I used spino for them you can use spino or any other high ranged and high dmg dino with good enough hp or you easily get killed

GOOD LUCK FIGHTING THIS MOSQUITOES...
