## Strategies & Tips

### As a Cosmic Insect

* Your food is only present in Space, so head up there. Space has two large floating islands in the upper extremes of the map, next to the Black Holes. There is another floating island above the middle of the map. There are also smaller islands scattered about. There are Cosmic Eggs and Cosmic Plants for you!
* Don't forget to head back down if your water is low and you're not in the middle island.
* If your oxygen level is low, look for Cosmic Plants. While you are doing this, it is also a good idea to gain experience from the Cosmic Plant, much like a Butterfly getting experience from a Flower.
* When you have high oxygen, look for Eggs. They bring much more XP to the table than Cosmic Plants do. Just make sure you return to a plant afterward.
* Don’t fear by the gravity and oxygen loss in space — you are one of the animals who can move naturally and lose less oxygen in space.
* When you are close to evolution, make sure you're in the open space instead of in the caves. It is possible to get soft-locked (stuck) inside the caves due to your evolution's large hit-box. Predators may also use the opportunity to wait for you to upgrade, blocking and killing you once you obtain the Cosmic Big Eye.
* If you see a Ghostly Reaper, Pumpkin Ghost or Grim Reaper, try to ignore them; you are way too small for them to be able to kill you. However, don't let your guard down as you are still rich in XP and thus a target to these predators.
* Watch out for Crocodiles and Tyrannosauruses because they can easily kill you in two hits if you happen to accidentally bump into them while evolving into a Cosmic Insect or when you are getting down from space.

### As the predator of a Cosmic Insect

* A Cosmic Angry Eye or a Cosmic Bat can eat a Cosmic Insect. However, given the small hit-box and the fact it also has excellent performance in space, it may be difficult to eat them. 99% of the time, you won't find one, but if you do, chase it, it'll reward substantial XP if caught. Do not go out of your way to find one though, unless one is on the leaderboard, in which case head to the two large islands.
	+ As a Cosmic Angry Eye, it'll be more rewarding to target a Cosmic Big Insect, as it'll be much easier to kill. As a Cosmic Bat, go after a Cosmic Insect if you see it, but stop the chase if it goes into a narrow corridor you can't get into, as you could be trapped yourself by a predator.
	+ If a Cosmic Insect goes into the caves in space to hide, and if you are a Cosmic Angry Eye or Cosmic Bat, don't bother pursuing it. The Cosmic Insect's small size will likely allow it to swiftly escape and there will be more chance of you being ambushed by a predator.
* When it's down to replenish its water resources, though, one can seize the opportunity to ambush it and devour it — but this situation is very rare, and the Cosmic Insect will generally not waste time on the ground.

## Trivia

* Before the 18/2/2019 update, it was known as the Cosmic Bug and ate only Stars. (Now, it is known as the Cosmic Insect, and Stars are not edible).
* Before the 18/2/2019 update, with the Cosmic Big Eye, the Cosmic Angry Eye, the Cosmic Bat and the Overfed Cosmic Bat (code-wise), it could hold up the oxygen level in space, but with the release of the Cosmic Plant in 18/2/2019, holding the oxygen level is no longer possible, but it will lose less oxygen in Space than other animals.
* It is one of four animals (not counting the Ghost or the Pumpkin) besides the Fly, the Pigeon, the hen and the Blue Bird that can fit in the small space above the hallway that leads to the Demonic Angel's lair.
* It is one of the three animals besides Blue Bird and Fly that have the smallest hitbox out of the entire game.
* It is one of the other animals besides the Demonic Imp that has a realistic design.
* Unlike the Phoenix before it, the Cosmic Insect has a lot of predators, making it extremely risky to level up in game.
* It is one of the smallest animals.
* It is the last insect, hence its name. After another long chain of birds and prehistoric/mythic/non-existent animals, an insect (but non-existent) is playable again. The last insect before it was the Hornet.
