Tips & Strategies
Don’t go into bog if you do, you should bring torch.
These idiots don’t aggro you in water.
They do not aggro to larger dinos such as a rex or theri.
Simply go into the water to evade them entirely
Just an untamable swarm of bugs that'll pester you until they kill you or you leave...
You can’t get a dermis of one of these, harvesting their corpse with a taxidermy tool weirdly doesn’t give a dermis, and you can’t forcetame them or summon them in as tamed. (Don’t try to summon in a high level tamed one, it’ll be hard to kill and might even kill you first.)
So they judt go through all your stuff
Really annoying try not to encounter
If you want to kill these just hit it with a torch, once on fire their hit box will be visible due to the fire animation.
If you need to run away from them go to water. Also, being right next to crustal nodes worked for me thrice, so that is possibly another way to rid yourself of the swarm.
They are terrified of tamed frogs! If you tame beezlel, they actively swarm away from you. Also if you kill a swarm with a frog you will NOT get any cementing paste, only meat and hide
Run...when you see a swarm just run. When building build a 2x2+ because in a 1x2 you will still be smacked
They will go for your crops, but if you have a Z Plant, they will repel away. You can get a Z plant by the HLNA store
Their hit box is on the ground following you, and can only be hit by a torch! Hope this helped!

Placing standing
Torches helps keeping
Them.
If you have mamouth in your base you would no longer be bothered by the insect swarm 👍👍
Alway keep a torch to take them out
0.5 damage but you have to hit the middle one or you can’t hurt them
