| − | Insect-like creatures that are generally not considered to be insects include the {{mcsl|s}} monster class, containing arachnids and other arthropods that aren't classified as insects in real life. The {{mcsl|x}} monster class arguably also constitutes insects, because the class description is "xan or other mystical/fantastic insect", but these are not treated as insects in, for example, the [[summon insects]] monster spell.

| − | ==Strategy==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hostile [[aligned priest|priests]] can cast [[summon insects]], particularly in [[Moloch's Sanctum]] and the [[Astral Plane]]. If all insects have been [[genocide]]d, they will instead summon [[snake]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is not a good idea to [[genocide]] any species of insect, as they provide a valuable barrier between you and the tougher monsters in the Sanctum and Astral Plane. Some players make an exception to genocide soldier ants, as they pose a particular hazard in the early game.
