The Jug Bug is one of the Creatures in Scorched Earth expansion pack.
Basic Info
Dossier
- Wild: Scutinphora puteus is a fast, flying insect that comes in two varieties, visually distinct only in the red or green markings on its exoskeleton. Biologically and behaviorally, the are practically the same. The only real difference between the two is the resource they gather in the expandable sacks on their backs. Scutinphora with green markings gather water, and Scutinphora with red markings gather oil. This unique ability makes Scutinphora a target for both the desert's natural predators and human survivors. Finding a green Scutinphora at the right time could prove to be life-saving, and survivors can use the oil produced by red Scutinphora for a wide variety of purposes.
- Domesticated: Like many of the insects on the island, Scutinphora cannot be tamed. Beyond the resources obtained while hunting it, survivors will find no use for it.
Behavior
After collecting the resources from a Jug Bug it will fly away from you.

Combat
General
The Jug Bug poses no threat to players, tribes or even wild dinos.
Strategy
If a survivor wants to kill a Jug Bug it is best to leave their sack full, as when they try and flee their movement speed will be severely lowered, making them easy targets for Spears.

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.
