Insect

Insects are small, flying creatures. They cannot be interacted with, although when summoned using a Swarm Magnet they will sting larger creatures.

Flies

 * Flies are found around corpses in Creature Stage that have started to rot. If flies are around a corpse, any creature that tries to eat any of the meat will be sick. These flies are also found as an Effect in Spore Galactic Adventures' Adventure Creator.
 * The Swarm Magnet insects also appear to be flies, and not bees as might be thought.
 * The Ancient Flyswatter Rare features a gigantic fossilised mosquito.

Bees

 * In Spore Creepy & Cute, the Creature Creator Test Drive mode had several new animations added, including "Bees", which sends a swarm of bees to sting your creature.
 * Bees are also found as an Effect in the Adventure Creator.

Other insects

 * Other insect-like Effects in the Adventure Creator include "Butterflies", "Fireflies" and "Pixies". Although neither directly showing the creatures nor being technically insects, there is also a "Spiderwebs" Effect.
 * There are many insectoid creatures in the Spore Galaxy, most notably the Grox-enlaved Insectrox.
