It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''.  | kanji = <br/><ruby><rb>昆</rb><rp>=Overview==The Insect Type is depicted as variations of bugs, including both true insects, arachnids, and variations thereof. Certain monsters based on worms, ticks and other creepy-crawlers also appear. They range in shapes and forms, from relatively resembling real-life Insects (</rp><rt>こん</rt><rp>such as "[[Reed Butterfly]]")</rp><rb>虫</rb><rp>, humanoids (</rp><rt>ちゅう</rt><rp>such as "[[Insect Knight]]")</rp><rb>族</rb><rp>, to much more fantastical and weird (</rp><rt>ぞく</rt><rp>such as "[[Minar]]")</rp></ruby>. The common attributes associated with Insects are [[EARTH]] and [[WIND]], although there are Insects for every single Attribute in the game bar [[DIVINE]]. Insect is a versatile and somewhat well-supported Type that goes back to the early history of the game. They typically act like their namesake by swarming the field and replacing themselves when removed. A number of early Insect supports also pitch their synergistic relationship to go hand-in-hand with [[Plant]] monsters. While the recent support often bundled beneficial effect for both Types, thus allows some hybridization. The Type also contains a lot of low-Level monsters with powerful utility effects, or higher [[ATK]] for their Level. ==Themes== {| romanji style= Konchūzoku"width:100%" | japanese translated style= "width:50%" | | english = ==''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''===* [["C"]]* [[Battlewasp]]* [[Beetrooper]]* [[Digital Bug]]* [[Inzektor]]* [[Krawler]]* [[Moth]]* [[Spider]]* [[Ultimate Insect]] ; Mixed* [[Ragnaraika]]* [[Naturia]]* [[Traptrix]]* [[Worm]]| style="vertical-align:top" | french  ===''[[Rush Duel]]''=== Insecte * [[Gi-ant Revolution (series)| german Gi-ant Revolution]] ===Anime/manga-only=== Insekt * [[Butterfly]]* [[Cicada]]* [[Hell]]* [[Mantis]]* [[Mosquito]]* [[Parasite]]| portuguese } ==Appearance in media== Inseto The following characters use Insect monsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. {| italian style= "width:100%" | korean style="vertical-align:top" |===Manga== 곤충족=;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

;'''Insect''' monsters are a versatile, and somewhat well-supported [[Type]] of Monster that go handYu-inGi-hand with [[PlantOh! ZEXAL]]-[[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. 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, unless you have 3 [[Pyro Clock of Destiny]]s), 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 ImitationScritch]], and * [[GigaplantErazor]].

Insect cards are most notably played by ;''[[Weevil UnderwoodYu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]], ''* [[MissyShinji Weber]], [[Lenny]], [[Roman Goodwin]] and [[Jesse Anderson]] in the GX manga.

Noticeable Insect Type monsters include ";''[[Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth]]", "[[Anteatereatingant]]", "[[NeoYu-Spacian Flare Scarab]]", "[[Insect Queen]]", "[[Chainsaw Insect]]", "[[Grasschopper]]", "[[Jirai Gumo]]", "[[Howling Insect]], "[[Magical Merchant]]", "[[Man-Eater Bug]]", "[[Brain Crusher]]", "[[Needle Worm]]", "[[CrossGi-Sword Beetle]]", "[[Ultimate Insect LV7]]", "[[Aztekipede, the Worm Warrior]]", "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru]]", "[[Doom DozerOh!
