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 ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy

you can find them the most near the redwoods and the swamp on like that little beach at least on the map the island you can find it on that beach but other than that, I don’t know where to find any sometimes you can find them in like the actual swamp, but it’s very hard to do this so so I just look on that little beach

hope this helped

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.

Pls for the love of god.

Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔

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

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 🙂

every time I look for one of these, I always find a male I get the essence, but I can never find a female so only do it when you have a lot of time cause I’ve only found one female ever and I’ve played 237 hours of this game and I still haven’t found more than one and I find it easiest to have cheats on that way you could just spawn it but if you want to tame it for real very hard, so good luck

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!

I only flew past a little piece of swamp and that piece of caca killed me and my pt I had Jst tamed a argy lvl 150 he was perfect I lost all my stuff lucky he is in a cryopod ima see if I can get him back

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

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.

Giant bugs are offensive to my health

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.
