Insect

Insect monsters are a versatile, and somewhat well-supported Type of Monster that go hand-in-hand with Plant-Type monsters. The common attributes associated with them is EARTH and WIND. They typically act like their namesake by swarming the field, and can sometimes prove to be quite an annoyance to players. There are not many extremely powerful high-level Insects besides Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth (which is typically considered too much of a chore to summon, unless you have 3 Pyro Clock of Destinys), but at lower levels, Insects can completely dominate the field, due to the high ATK their lower-level monsters often have for their level as well as their ease in summoning. The list of support cards for this type include:Verdant Sanctuary, Pinch Hopper, Insect Imitation, and Gigaplant.

Insect cards are most notably played by Weevil Underwood, Missy, Lenny and Roman Goodwin.

Noticeable Insect Type monsters include "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth", "Anteatereatingant", "Insect Queen", "Chainsaw Insect", "Grasschopper", "Jirai Gumo", "Howling Insect, "Magical Merchant", "Man-Eater Bug", "Brain Crusher", "Needle Worm", "Cross-Sword Beetle", "Ultimate Insect LV7", "Aztekipede, the Worm Warrior", "Earthbound Immortal Uru" and "Doom Dozer".

Insects have their own Archetype: Spiders and will have a second archetype known as the Inverz in the Duel Terminal - Raid of the Inverz.
