Tips & Strategies
The rhynio has a similar taming method to the reaper you have to kill a male to get a certain item then eat the item which is called fertile essence then you need to find a female rhynio and get is to under 10% of its health and will do a special attack to give you the baby but it has to be done in the air or underwater so it can use all of its legs as required unfortunately the female will only give a baby to someone that’s a higher or the same level as it although that’s not confirmed to stay in the game.

Here's just some things I've learned while taming these huge bugs.
•If you don't have something like a giga/carcha to impregnate, the 3rd best option would be a Brontosaurus for best stat quality for your baby bug. Though actually getting one to the Rhyniognatha will be quite difficult as you can't simply cryopod it and throw it once you found your Rhyniognatha (as of the Cryofridge and cryopod change in ASA). So you may need to walk it through the entire swamp...
• Keep your shoulder pets passive! This won't affect you if your using a large dino such as those listed above, though if using something smaller (though this is not recommended, most smaller dinos can't even consume the pheromone), you need to have your shoulder pets on passive so they don't attack the Rhyniognatha. I once did this mistake, and as I was going to feed my dino a pheromone, my otter on my shoulder killed the Rhyniognatha as it was on Attack Target.
•Final one, be fully prepared! Bring your pheromone and your creature your willing to impregnate before searching for a Rhyniognatha. This is because these guys love to aggro absolutely everything and get themselves killed, so if you went back to stock up on everything you need once you found one, chances are it is already dead.
Wish you luck!
Do not use your strongest dino but neither just weakest because at the end the dino that is impregnate will die and give birth to the Rhyniognatha
High level Brontos worked best for us.

This is not passive taming
You have to get it to 10 percent
And let it get your dino pregnant then a baby explodes out of your dino killing it
NOT PASSIVE TAMING
Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming
Rex can use pheromones 100% used low level rex
The big WILL NOT impregnate Tek Creatures 👍🏾
U need to kill one in order to TAME one?????

You just dont escape this mofo is like a giga MOSQUITO
