Antagonistic Insects

People all seem to hate insects or bugs such as spiders, wasps, bees, scorpions and many others as they appear in books, films, TV shows, cartoons, and videogames as antagonists. Any villain who has an appearance or ability of a bug can be arrogant, deadly, sadistic, hungry, wicked and creepy.

Insects have equally been used for their strangeness and alien qualities, with giant wasps and intelligent ants threatening human society in science fiction stories. The locust have represented greed, and more literally plague and destruction, while the fly has been used to indicate death and decay, and the grasshopper has indicated improvidence. The horsefly, like the mosquito, has been used from classical times to portray torment.

Of course bad bugs have taken up residence as well, but hopefully the toads and bats along with some good bugs are controlling their numbers. As with much in life, it is a constant struggle between good and mean, even inside the confines of garden fencing.

Some bugs, even ones with a hive mind, can even summon powerful armies.

Not to be even confused with arachnids, as insects and arachnids are different species. However, in most cases, some insects can be a bit good while retaining an antagonistic side.
