::::Well, I can't really see what the bug looks like. It appears to be red, but there's red-shelled and green-shelled Koopas, so not much rationale there... Are there official names that differentiate between the two? Is there a suggestion besides a name that differentiates them? The normal Mandibug looks like it does have wings, so just because one version is seen flying more often doesn't mean it's different. Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas are different because one has wings, the other doesn't. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 13:43, 4 December 2009 (EST)

We are ''not'' talking about merging Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa! Reversinator, whether they are the same or not, you cannot go around blowing things out of proportion like that! If anyone here wishes to have Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa merged then go right ahead and put {{tem|merge to}} on [[Koopa Paratroopa|this page]] and {{tem|merge from}} on [[Koopa Troopa|this one]] but until then, don't bring it up on this page! {{User|Marioguy1}}

::::They're collectively referred to as the "Mandibug Clan" in Galaxy, so they're both Mandibugs. Seems like they're varieties, rather than outright different species, but the difference is strong enough I feel they should be kept apart as long as they're both grouped under "Mandibug Clan". {{User|Redstar}}

I don't think we should go creating articles on every species/subspecies group; "Mandibug Clan", "Koopa Tribe"? There is a section in the {{tem|species infobox}} called "sub_species" and one called "species_origin" and those two sections can display the links between the species {{User|Marioguy1}}

:No, I didn't mean going so far as doing that. Just mentioning it in the initial sentence. "Mandibugs are members of the Mandibug Clan". [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 14:03, 4 December 2009 (EST)

{{quote2|However, if approached by Bee Mario, they unfold their wings and slowly hover after him. This could possibly be because they are '''insects and are therefore attracted to Mario in his bee (another insect) form.'''|Flipbug article}}

However, the Mandibug article says that Mandibugs took over the tower in Honeyhive Galaxy, and probably have a certain rivalry to Bees. I don't think Flipbugs follow Bee Mario because they feel attracted to him, but because they think Mario's an ''actual'' bee, and thus an "enemy". After all, Flipbugs are related to Mandibugs, so it makes sense too. However, Mandibugs attack anyone, Also Mario without a bee suit from a Bee Mushroom. But then we've the theories, that either Mandibugs are a lot smarter than Flipbugs, or that Flipbugs are just wimps. {{User:Arend/Sig}}

== Inaccurate Image Description ==
The image in question (captioned "Flipbugs chase Bee Mario.") actually features the enemies fleeing from Mario and Mario is not even in his Bee form. If I could find an image of the described behavior (as it is somewhat important to the article) would that be preferable or would it be better to simply correct the incorrect caption? {{unsigned|HarryGCollections}}
:This seems to be a case where an image was replaced and the caption simply was not updated to reflect the change, though I do not think it would hurt to have an image of their interaction with Bee Mario, since it is a separate behavior from the ones currently depicted on the article. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 19:29, June 10, 2020 (EDT)
I see. I'll eventually find such an image and add it to the article, and then subsequently correct the caption with one edit to avoid confusion.
