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]]''. ==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 (such as "[[Reed Butterfly]]"), humanoids (such as "[[Insect Knight]]"), to much more fantastical and weird (such as "[[Minar]]"). 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=={{Ruby|族style="width:100%"| style="width:50%" |ぞく}} ===''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''===* [["C"]]* [[Battlewasp]]* [[Beetrooper]]* [[Digital Bug]]* [[Inzektor]]* [[Krawler]]* [[Moth]]* [[Spider]]* [[Ultimate Insect]] ; Mixed* [[Ragnaraika]]* [[Naturia]]* [[Traptrix]]* [[Worm]]| romanji style= Konchūzoku"vertical-align:top" | ===''[[Rush Duel]]''===* [[Gi-ant Revolution (series)| japanese translated Gi-ant Revolution]] ===Anime/manga-only= Insect Tribe==* [[Butterfly]]* [[Cicada]]* [[Hell]]* [[Mantis]]* [[Mosquito]]* [[Parasite]] | english } ==Appearance in media= =The following characters use Insectmonsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. {| french style= Insecte"width:100%" | german style= Insekt"vertical-align:top" | | portuguese = Inseto==Manga=== ;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

;'''Insect''' monsters are a versatile, and somewhat well-supported [[Type]] of Monster that go handYu-inGi-hand with [[PlantOh! VRAINS]]-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 "''* [[GigaplantFaust]]".

Insect cards are most notably played by ;''[[Weevil UnderwoodYu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]], ''* [[MissyJanko Entant]], * [[LennyNana Nanahoshi]], [[Roman Goodwin]] and [[Jesse Anderson]] in the GX manga.|}
