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 using their unique ablities. 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), 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, Roman Goodwin and Jesse Anderson in the GX manga.

Notable Insect Type monsters include "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth", "Insect Queen", "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab", "Chainsaw Insect", "Grasschopper", "Jirai Gumo", "Magical Merchant", "Man-Eater Bug", "Brain Crusher", "Needle Worm", "Ultimate Insect LV7", "Aztekipede, the Worm Warrior", "Earthbound Immortal Uru", "Doom Dozer", "Pinch Hopper", "Metal Armored Bug", and "Number 20: Gig-Anto Brilli-Ant".

There are four Insect archetypes: the "Moths", the "Spiders", the "Worms" (although several Worms are Reptile-type instead), and the "Inzecters".
