Japanese Name

I know someone here, probably Mister Wu, has the Japanese version of the new Mario Encyclopedia, anyone know the Japanese names of these and whether they match up with Skeeter? ‎Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:10, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

For completion's sake, the English guides (besides Prima, natch) call the Pondskater "water bugs" (Player's Guide, pg. 32), "Blue Spider" (BradyGames, pg. 4), and "Blue Spider" (Versus Books, pg. 33, and yes, the BradyGames and Versus Books guides use the same names).

As seen here [1], the Japanese names for the Skeeters in 64, the "Pondskaters" described here, and the Skeeters of Galaxy 2 are all the same, being メンボ (Menbo, from amenbo, the word for water striders). Now I may receive opposition for their different design and behavior, but this is Super Mario Sunshine, where such physical and behavioral differences are omnipresent. The only real way this argument works is with how Klamber was basically forgotten about.....I'll have to ask about that one's Japanese name at some point.
