==Non-insects==
 
 
 
* {{monsymlink|giant spider}}
 
* {{monsymlink|cave spider}}
 
* {{monsymlink|Scorpius}}
 
* {{monsymlink|scorpion}}

==Notes==
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
==Strategy==
 
 
 
It is not a good idea to [[genocide]] any species of insect, as they provide a valuable barrier between you and far tougher monsters in the Sanctum and Astral Plane. Some players make an exception for Soldier ants, as they pose a particular hazard in the early game.
