Insect Insect ( Japanese : " Konchū " ) 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 are EARTH and WIND . They typically act like their namesake by swarming the field , and can sometimes prove to be quite an annoyance to players by using their unique abilities . 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 , Jesse Anderson , Kyoji Yagumo , and Shinji Weber . Notable Insect - Type monsters include : " Aztekipede , the Worm Warrior " , " Brain Crusher " , " Chainsaw Insect " , " Doom Dozer " , " Earthbound Immortal Uru " , " Flying Kamakiri # 1 " , " Grasschopper " , " Insect Queen " , " Magical Merchant " , " Man - Eater Bug " , " Maxx " C " " , " Metal Armored Bug " , " Needle Worm " , " Neo - Spacian Flare Scarab " , " " , " " , " Pinch Hopper " , " Inzektor Exa - Beetle " and " Ultimate Insect LV7 " Insect Focused Decks . Solid Sanctuary Deck . Insects of this deck are going to swarm your field and are going to maintain hand advantage at all times . The main cards of this deck are " Solidarity " and " Verdant Sanctuary " . Playing 2 of each of these cards on your side of the field should give you victory ( unless they are destroyed ) . The key focus of this deck is to get plenty of Insects in your Graveyard for two reasons : to use " Solidarity " and to get multiple " Doom Dozers " and " Aztekipede , the Worm Warriors " out on the field . If you ever get 3 " Solidarity " face - up on the field your " Doom Dozer " will have 5200 ATK ! Even your weakest Monsters , like " Bee List Soldier " , will have 2900 ATK ! But to put things into perspective , you will probably only get a maximum of 2 " Solidarity " per game . This still means that your " Aztekipedes " have 2700 or 3500 ATK and can destroy almost anything . " Solidarity " is great when used with " Cross - Sword Beetle " . He has the pierce effect which allows you to inflict damage while a Monster is in Defense Position . Insect Beatdown Deck . Insects themselves boast a large number of high - ATK , low level monsters , most notably " Insect Knight " , " Neo Bug " , " Arsenal Bug " , and " Chainsaw Insect " , all of which have outstanding attack power for non - tribute Monsters . " Doom Dozer " and " Aztekipede , the Worm Warrior " can also help in this respect as they can be summoned with little effort late in the game . " Grasschopper " is also a very good beatstick , as it can be Special Summoned by offering a level 4 Monster for " Insect Imitation " and ( once it is Normal Summoned to gain its effect ) can attack all Monsters on your opponent ' s field . " Saber Beetle " is useful in this deck both for it ' s high ATK and piercing effect . " Millennium Scorpion " is also a good choice both because it can be Summoned in the same way as " Grasschopper " and for the fact that it can gain substantial ATK when it destroys opposing Monsters . When " Grasschopper " gains its " Ultimate Tyranno " effect , " Cross - Sword Beetle " may help your insects deal more damage though piercing . " Insect Imitation " is important in this deck as it can bring out " Grasschopper " and " Millennium Scorpion " very quickly . Also , only include " Insect Princess " if you include " Parasite Paracide " as " Insect Princess " has lackluster ATK compared to the other beatdown cards unless you can change the Type of your opponent ' s monsters and the tribute would be better used for " Grasschopper " . Because of the fair amount of Normal Monsters and " Grasschopper " being a Gemini Monster , one copy of " Dark Factory of Mass Production " is recommended but no more than 1 to prevent a dead draw . The best Field Spell Card for an Insect Beatdown Deck is " Gaia Power " because the most important Cards for Insect Beatdowns are EARTH - attribute Monsters , such as " Doom Dozer " , " Grasschopper " , and " Insect Knight " . Royal Insect Deck . This deck focuses on " Insect Queen " and " Insect Princess ' s " effects , which boost their ATK points while there are Insects on the field . If you choose to use " Insect Queen " , " Cockroach Knight " will be a great asset as will " Multiplication of Ants " . This deck focuses on hampering your opponent ' s monsters by turning them into Insects , which can greatly hamper the efforts of type - specific decks . As expected , " Parasite Paracide " is crucial in this deck and three copies should be included . " Mask of Restrict " can help keep " Parasite " on the field since your only tribute monsters can be Summoned through other means ( however , you will be unable to tribute any monsters for " Insect Queen ' s " effect , making her unable to attack as long as " Mask of Restrict " is on the field ) . " DNA Surgery " can also help in turning opposing monsters into Insects should you choose not to use " Paracide " ( due to it ' s usefulness for Synchro Summons ) . Because your opponent ' s monsters will be Insects as well , " Insect Barrier " will be useful in this deck as it will prevent your opponent ' s monsters from attacking , hence allowing you to stall and protect your tribute fodder . " Ojama Trio " is also useful for providing additional monsters on your opponent ' s side of the field to either boost the ATK of " Insect Queen " , or as " food " for " Insect Princess " . " Light of Intervention " is also useful because it allows " Parasite " to do its work and to prevent nasty surprises . " Pinch Hopper " is also crucial as it can help summon " Insect Princess " and " Insect Queen " quickly . All three searcher / recruiter monsters should also be included to provide " food " for " Insect Queen " or to maintain field presence . You can also use " Gigaplant " together with " Skull - Mark Ladybug " in this deck , as " Gigaplant " will Special Summon the " Skull - Mark Ladybug " every turn , allowing your " Insect Queen " to tribute it , giving you 1000 life points every turn and also supplying your " Insect Queen " with free fodder . " Aztekipede , the Worm Warrior " is also helpful due to its ability to Special Summon itself thus providing quick tribute fodder and overall attack power .
