Jug Bug

The Jug Bug is one of the Creatures in Scorched Earth expansion pack.

Behavior
After collecting the resources from a Jug Bug, it, as well as any other Jug Bugs within proximity, will fly away. If it is attacked, it will also fly away. The container on its back will visibly shrink when resources are taken.

Appearance
Colorful, grasshopper-like insects found throughout the Scorched Earth, members of genus Scutinphora are consummate desert survivors. The species comes in two morphs, each equipped with a fluid-storing pouch on its back: green morphs store water, while red morphs collect and store oil, perhaps to metabolize it as some sort of food. These so-called "jug bugs" are largely defenseless and will instead fly some distance away from attackers.

General
The Jug Bug poses no threat to players, tribes or even wild dinos. The only reason not to kill one is the "golden goose" metaphor; a jug bug is far more useful to the player alive, as it offers only an insignificant amount of meat and chitin when killed.

Strategy
If a survivor wants to kill a Jug Bug, it is best to leave their sack full, as when they try to flee their movement speed will be severely lowered, making them easy targets for spears and bolas.

Weaponry
Spears and bows will do the trick.

Dangers
While chasing a Jug Bug, you might accidentally fall off a cliff or run into an aggressive dino. To prevent this, a well charged bola will hold it down to prevent unnecessary chasing across the desert.

Weakness
Completely defenseless, low health, and slow when the sack is full.

Roles
Despite being un-tameable, the Jug Bug is a viable source of Water and Oil on the Scorched Earth. Players may want to trap them in cages or huts to be easily harvested for their resources if no natural Water and/or Oil is around. Use a Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, or grappling hook to place them in your holding area. Resources—water or oil—may be obtained without harming the bug.
 * Resources: The Jug Bugs can not be tamed but they can be rounded up and contained to provide resources like Chitin (needs to be killed), Oil and Water (harvest without harming).
 * Storing in Pens:

Collectibles
Cementing Paste (both). To farm it you will need a (a high damage one is need to make sure the bug doesn't fly away).

Oil (from red ones)

Water (from blue ones)

Notes/Trivia

 * This creatures design may have been inspired by the honey pot ant as it has striking similarities due to them storing food within a swollen abdomen.
 * There's a bug which let's you harvest twice the amount of oil from a killed jug bug by taking the oil from its inventory first and after that using the collect oil option in the radial menu.
 * In Helena's notes she says that the Jug Bug can't be tamed like other insects which is correct, however she makes a mistake she says that this insect lives on The Island which is incorrect.
 * While the Jug Bug is similar to a real insect the Honeypot Ant and Helena's notes say it is from the Holocene period. this is incorrect as the Jug Bug is a creature that never existed naturally and only came into existence in the post Holocene era under the infleunce of the arks.
