The combat insects can be placed in your troops and support them through their unlocked stats and skills. They’re split in another two under groups for players, since some of them aren’t as easy to get as others.
Normal and Event Insects
The normal ones can be hatched by chance through the Insect Nests and also exchanged for through Insect Shells. If you want an Event Insect though, you need to invest money into the game. They can be bought through the different Event Shops. The order is completely random.
Event Insects - Updated: 20.03.2023 Important: Godzilla also belongs in the category Event Insects. Unlike others though, The Ants announced that this event was a single release and players won’t be able to get it’s contents anymore due to legal issues.
Development Insects
Development Insects are stationed in your Insect Habitat Building under Develop. Through the star-up of your Insects, you unlock bonus percents for your nests.
It’s recommended that you especially star-up your Locust to Level 11!
This was you have a bonus for the SvS Tuesday (Gathering Day) as well as Gathering in the Rainforest Event.
Important: In the past you were able to completely remove stationed Insects to make use of the gathering hack. This was changed in a later Update though. Nowadays you have to switch your Locust out with a 1 Star Version.
You will still have a gathering speed bonus of +2,5% for Meat, but are able to gather plants for the longest amount possible.
Transformation Trick > back to INDEX
As a universal Insect, the Atlas Beetle is really strong. Sadly though, you’re not able to gain him through most golden choice eggs, which we get through events. And while we’re able to hatch him, the chance is still 1/5.
here is a small trick which guarantees you an unlimited amount of Atlas Beetles.
Requirements for this trick:
1 Atlas Beetle on highest star level possible
golden insects to transform
0 termites
Explanation:
Through the option Quick Star Up only 100% Star-Ups will be carried out…
If you select two insects with different levels,
they will NEVER be combined to the next star level.
Your Atlas Beetle needs to be on the higher level,
this way it will be automatically selected.
Both insects will be transformed into Atlas Beetles for 0 termites,
even though no star up happened.

We gained a new violet insect through the 2nd Anniversary Celebration. Since we’re not able to hatch it through eggs, and only receive it in events, it’s important to gain additional ones. It replaces Grapevine Beetle as helper for Atlas Beetle.
It’s confirmed that you can use the same transformation trick to gain additional Soapberry Bugs.
Direct Comparison of violet and blue Insects > back to INDEX
After some players wished for a table with the violet and blue insects as well, here they are…
It should be said though, that they should be raised up as helper insects and not fighter. The golden insects will always be much better, than your violet insects, the further along you are in the game.
Especially players, that don’t invest any money.
Termites will be really expensive the higher up you star or level your golden insects.
NEW
The new violet insect, which we gained through the 2nd Anniversary Celebration, cannot be hatched from normal insect eggs!
It replaces Grapevine Beetle as helper for Atlas Beetle.
