Any war fought between humans and an insectoid race, or any other clearly inhuman enemies. Generally, the battle is at some point in The Future. Bugs make great enemies for a fictional war for precisely the same reason that Evil Overlords give their minions face-concealing helmets: The reader or viewer is more likely to empathize with an enemy who has readable facial expressions. Making the enemy an insect or something similarly alien makes them impossible to read, which removes almost all empathy. Specifically insect-like monsters have the added benefit of triggering some fairly common phobias. Thus, the enemies can be demonized and painted as remorseless monsters with no sense of individuality, thereby assuaging the protagonist's (and hopefully the reader's) guilt over killing them. Often, the bugs are a stand-in for whatever real-world enemy was current at the time of writing. Can be a quite compelling scenario, as there seems to be something primal about a determined band of humans having to stand against a living ocean of chitinous, drooling, gribbly horrors, screeching and hissing as they advance in a nightmarish tide of fangs and claws. Expect the enemy to have an incredible numerical advantage that can be used in a Zerg Rush, making victory for the humans not a matter of defeating the aliens, but merely surviving. A Heroic Sacrifice or two usually comes into play if it means one of the good guys can take a load of beasties with him...and nuking the site from orbit may be the only real option. If worse comes to worst, it may be Better to Die than Be Killed, lest you end up with a Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong. Compare Robot War, a closely related trope dealing with wars between humans and sentient machines. See also: Big Creepy-Crawlies, Starfish Aliens and Hive Caste System (which tends to be used by nearly all Bee People with another concept of role specialization which may make them a Keystone Army). Usually a Horde of Alien Locusts. Sometimes it's an insectoid Xenomorph Xerox. Commonly uses Guilt-Free Extermination War. May involve a Creature-Hunter Organization. Unrelated to Ant War, wars fought between actual insects. For a smaller-scale version, see Pest Episode. |

Space 4X games such as Master of Orion will almost always characterise insectoid species as fast breeding, expansionist and aggressive, making bug wars almost inevitable during a game. These traits are often combined with penalties to science, bonuses to ground combat, and Organic Technology to keep things as close to the Starship Troopers-inspired stereotype as possible. | |

Wreck-It Ralph has the Fictional Video Game Hero's Duty, which has Space Marines fighting robot bugs called Cy-Bugs. The bugs here are mindless automata — unlike most video game characters in the setting, who know they're in a video game — and only exist to eat and multiply. They are usually stopped by a giant glowing tower that acts as a bug zapper, on which they are programmed to kill themselves so the game can reset properly. | |

Several episodes of The Outer Limits (1995) played this straight, but the episode "Hearts and Minds" subverts it by having the "bugs" turn out to be humans from a rival corporation; the soldiers had been drugged to see the enemy as disgusting aliens so that they would feel fewer qualms about killing them. The soldiers from the rival corporation were similarly drugged. | |

One of the best known examples is the titular creatures of the Alien films, although to call them "bugs" would be inaccurate given their... unique nature. The Aliens are freakishly inhuman, and are even mistakenly referred to as "bugs" in Aliens, which was widely inspired by Starship Troopers. Here, the facelessness of the Aliens also added to their scariness. In Aliens, Hudson even asks "Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?" before going on the ill-fated mission to LV-426. Also, the Marines have a logo on their landing craft that depicts an eagle with boots stomping on an insect, with the tag line "Bugstompers - We endanger species". The Aliens and their insectile design are so influential in this regard that several other works featuring a Bug War have a Xenomorph Xerox stand-in. | |

Half-Life: The first game had a bit of this, with headcrabs fighting marines in Black Mesa, but the second game and its expansions kick it into high gear. Not only are there are more headcrab variants, but there's also a rapidly-breeding swarm of Arachnid-like aliens called Antlions. Both species have colonized much of Earth and thus are always around to Zerg Rush the player. By the expansions, Freeman and La Résistance's efforts against the Combine have caused their defensive perimeter to collapse, allowing hordes of Antlions and headcrabs to pour into formerly-safe urban areas, swarming over both the retreating Combine forces and the advancing rebels. | |

Those who fled to the southwestern desert of Silithus would become the Qiraji, who would later war with the Night Elves in the War of the Shifting Sands. The Qiraji were largely successful until they make the mistake of attacking the Caverns of Time, which would the draw the Bronze, Red, Green, and Blue dragonflights into the war. With their dragon allies, the Night Elves were able to force the Qiraji back behind the walls of their capital of Ahn'Qiraj and seal them there. Players would later raid Ahn'Qiraj in World of Warcraft when the Qiraji started successfully reaching beyond the walls again. | |

Although it is a fantasy setting, the Warcraft franchise has played host to several Bug Wars involving the insectoid Aqir empire and its descendants. First, the Aqir fought a war of attrition against the two dominant troll empires of the time, the Gurubashi and the Amani. This lasted several millennia before the trolls ultimately succeeded and split the Aqir empire into three. Those three factions would all evolve on separate paths and become involved in their own Bug Wars. The Aqir who fled north would become the spider-like Nerubians, who became one of the dominant forces on Northrend. This would come to end in the War of the Spider, where the Nerubians stood against and were defeated by the undead Scourge, with most becoming undead themselves. This is a rare example of a Bug War where the Bugs were arguably the good guys, or at least the Lesser of Two Evils. Living Nerubians continue to work against the Scourge as of Wrath of the Lich King. Those who fled to the southwestern desert of Silithus would become the Qiraji, who would later war with the Night Elves in the War of the Shifting Sands. The Qiraji were largely successful until they make the mistake of attacking the Caverns of Time, which would the draw the Bronze, Red, Green, and Blue dragonflights into the war. With their dragon allies, the Night Elves were able to force the Qiraji back behind the walls of their capital of Ahn'Qiraj and seal them there. Players would later raid Ahn'Qiraj in World of Warcraft when the Qiraji started successfully reaching beyond the walls again. Mists of Pandaria introduced the mantis/bee-like Mantid, a previously unknown Aqir offshoot that lived on the southern continent of Pandaria. Every hundred years they swarm the rest of Pandaria, a process meant to cull their weak and leave the race stronger as a whole. As of Mists of Pandaria, their Empress is possessed by a Sha, who compels them to launch their assault roughly a decade early, catching the other races off guard and alarming the Klaxxi, the Mantid elder council. The Klaxxi seek players' help in replacing the insane Empress, but then turn against them by allying with Garrosh Hellscream when he acquires the heart of their god, Y'Shaarj. |

Inverted in Chrysalis (RinoZ), where the insects are the protagonists, and would really rather live in peace with humanity, but the humans (or, at least, the Abyssal Legion) are intent on wiping them out. Further complicated by the fact that the Legion are actually heroes who keep humanity safe from the Dungeon's continual monster threats; they just unfortunately refuse to make an exception for the Colony. | |

The Scrin from Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars are the bug race of the three factions in the game, since their army is made of robotic/biological insectoid units. They came here not to consume us but to turn the planet to a source of Tiberium, which is vital for them. It is the Tiberium itself that would have consumed us. They didn't see Kane coming, though... | |

The war against the Hive in Tour of the Merrimack. The Hive aren't precisely insectoid in appearance, but they fit in the sense of being an endless horde of mindless chitinous horrors which exist only to eat. | |

Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis both have some elements of this, although neither is a perfect match for the trope. In SG-1, the Replicators are first introduced as an insectoid techno-organic Hive Mind that have nearly overwhelmed the Asgard. Being made up of a sort of alien lego, they aren't particularly chitinous or drooling, but they are as implacable and tenacious as anything else on this page. Their default form looks like a large spider. Later in the series they develop humanoid variants, but still use insectoid forms for most combat and work. In Atlantis, the Wraith are vampiric Rubber-Forehead Aliens, but it's eventually revealed that they were originally insects that became humanoid after feeding on humans on account of their Bizarre Alien Biology including the ability to assimilate the DNA of their food. The Re'tu play this one straight, being invisible human-sized spiders. Because of their invisibility, most have been hunted and wiped out by the Goa'uld using a device that can make them visible. Of the remaining ones, a radical faction of them has decided to wipe out every human civilization in order to prevent the Goa'uld from getting more hosts. Their weapons include an energy gun of some sort and a small bomb that has the power of a mini-nuke. They are only present in one episode but are mentioned almost every time an invisible assailant has infiltrated their ranks. |

District 9 - The violent insectoid aliens seem at first to be mindless beasts. As the film develops we get to see how their circumstances are working against them. Through the character of Christopher and his child we gain a sympathetic viewpoint. It is an interesting exercise to view the film with and without subtitles: it shows how characters lacking a mammalian face are working uphill. | |

Mass Effect has the Rachni War. Unlike many examples, the morality of wiping them all out because they're insects is in doubt - the rachni were intelligent enough to build spacecraft, after all - and later on you get the opportunity to choose to save or kill the surviving rachni queen. Furthermore, it's revealed that the rachni fought the war because Sovereign compelled them to, using a "sour note from space" (basically, he indoctrinated them). In fact, if you save the queen, she'll promise in the second game to aid you against the Reapers. In Mass Effect 3, the queen ends up being captured by the Reapers, who turn her children into husks; you'll have to save her again before she can make good on her promise. If you didn't save the queen in Mass Effect, the Reapers will simply construct an artificial queen in order to produce rachni that can be converted into husks; unlike her natural-born counterpart, she's thoroughly indoctrinated and will sabotage the war effort if you choose to spare her. | |

Played with in Battle: Los Angeles, where the aliens are very clearly inhuman and brutally ruthless, but retain enough humanlike characteristics (such as caring for wounded, taking cover, using intelligent tactics and hand signals, etc.) that the similarities between them and the Marines becomes disturbingly apparent. At one point, one of the Marines asks another if he thinks the aliens were like them: just grunts who really had no idea what was going on, but given orders and sent to fight. | |

Used and subverted in Alien Syndrome, the truth was revealed that in the end, the alien queen was very much capable of human thought and emotions and that the reason for the bugs/aliens was due to a failed experiment and that the entire war was a means of an elaborate suicide as she can't take the fact of being the sole survivor of a civilization that was driven to extinction. | |

The Formic Wars prequel novels describe the First Invasion in detail. The Formics (Card has stopped using "Buggers" past the original novel and Ret Conned the name "Formic" as always having existed) arrive in a giant Ramscoop-powered starship and land forces in China. Their "troops" mainly just spray a highly-toxic goo that melts anything organic that is then collected by Formic harvesters as biomass. Basically, they consider humans to be mere animals and are simply terraforming Earth to their liking. Sure, when humans fight back, then the Formics bring out the heavy guns. They're also spotted vivisecting dead or dying people and, apparently, looking through their organs for something. Another Retcon is the gravity-manipulation technology. The original novel explains that it was reverse-engineered from the Formics. The prequels have humans already manipulating gravity in some areas, while the Formic ship lacks any sort of Artificial Gravity. | |

The Thalan Empire in Galactic Civilizations are pretty much a bug race. However they are not malicious, just very suspicious that Humanity's obtainment of the hyperdrive may lead to The End of the World as We Know It. They subvert bug race style personalities as they are limited in number and very high tech. | |

The primary enemy of the first two Spellsinger books are the Plated Folk, who are very large insects of various kinds, from flies and beetles to praying mantises. Given this is a world of anthropomorphic mammals and birds, the insect invaders are seen as truly horrible, although that doesn't stop the heroes from allying with the Weavers, giant sapient spiders. | |

A subtle theme in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy — the main antagonists, Scorpius and his daughter Trakeena, are insectoid, as are their Stingwingers. Not so much for their generals and monsters (thanks to the source footage). The security forces aboard Terra Venture even wear armor from the Starship Troopers movie to further the theme. | |

While they may or may not be human in origin any fight with the Slaver wasps from Girl Genius fits quite well. You have Warriors, which do the direct fighting, drones that do the enslaving (by flying into people's mouths), and the Queen, kept alive by a Hive Engine apparatus and rendered sessile from it. Except for newer models, that can chase down prey themselves. | |

Mothra had a brief conflict between Mothra and the military, but Mothra is such a benevolent creature that the humans get off pretty light. Later films that focused on Mothra (Mothra vs. Godzilla, Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!) instead had the humans fighting with Mothra against Godzilla (or against King Ghidorah in the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy and in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)), in a twist on this trope. | |

Outsider: The story revolves around an interstellar war between the Loroi and Umiak. The Loroi are Space Elves, while the Umiak are very insect-like in their appearance, being six-legged, multiple-eyed, having a chitinous exoskeleton, and a language that vocally is basically clicks and ticks due to having mandibles instead of jaws. Even their ships have an organic, almost insect-like feel to them. | |

The Godzilla series uses this trope fairly often, though Godzilla himself usually ends up being the bigger threat that goes up against the insects: Rodan had the humans fighting the dragonfly-like Meganula as well as the two Rodans. The Meganula would return in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, this time with Megaguirus, a plus-sized Meganula that is able to give Godzilla himself trouble. Mothra had a brief conflict between Mothra and the military, but Mothra is such a benevolent creature that the humans get off pretty light. Later films that focused on Mothra (Mothra vs. Godzilla, Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!) instead had the humans fighting with Mothra against Godzilla (or against King Ghidorah in the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy and in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)), in a twist on this trope. Godzilla (2014) has the Mutos, giant prehistoric insect-like creatures that are ancient enemies of the Godzilla species and continue this species rivalry into the Anthropocene. The conflict between humans and the MUTOs also plays out as one. |

Subverted in Spider Riders. This trope is clearly how the humans see the Invectids, but the Invectids are actually individuals with hopes and dreams and families of their own, who believe they're fighting for a good cause. The Invectids unfortunately don't realize that their leader is an Omnicidal Maniac. Also subverted since the humans are, per the title, riding around on giant sapient spiders who are completely sympathetic. | |

Deep Rock Galactic features a less formal "war" than most. The planet Hoxxes is absolutely flush with valuable minerals, but the local giant bugs (known as "Glyphids") are hyper-aggressive and highly carnivorous. The player characters, a band of heavily-armed Space Dwarves, are tasked by the eponymous mining company to extract valuable materials from the planet's cave systems, while the Glyphids simply want to eat and/or drive off anything invading their territory. | |

Averted in Genome with the Czygu, whose females could, at first glance, pass for small human girls. Only by looking closer you will find that they're Bee People and that the "breasts" are actually pseudopodi. This can allow Czygu, with some minor plastic surgery, to infiltrate humanity. While there is no Bug War in the book, one is about to start, if the protagonist doesn't solve the murder mystery in time. | |

The Aeon War in CthulhuTech started against the Migou, fungoid insect-things for whom Pluto is a part of their empire. Somewhat unusual in that the Migou are individually sapient, smarter than humanity, and view the destruction of humanity as something akin (ironically) to squashing an oversized bug. The Rapine Storm also can come under this category, as their forces as split between Eldritch Abominations and Reaver-like cultists. | |

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes has an early plot point dealing with how the Galactic Federation Marines were wiped out by a swarm of insectoid Splinters. Played with, in that while regular Splinters can be fairly dangerous to anyone who isn't as well-armed as Samus, the specimens that attacked the Marines were an abnormally strong and aggressive batch possessed by the Ing, an extradimensional species of Starfish Aliens. Further played with due to the presence of the Luminoth, a race of friendly moth-like humanoids who are bitter enemies of the Ing. | |

Space: Above and Beyond started with shades of this, despite the Chigs being Humanoid Aliens. The humans knew next to nothing about their new enemy, not even being able to see what they looked like due to their space suits dissolving the Chigs when they died or if they were exposed to water. As the show went on, they would gradually learn more and more about them, slowly humanizing them. | |

Marvel's Annihilation event involved several space-based heroes forming The Alliance to battle the Annihilation Wave, an army of alien insects whose signature move was the Zerg Rush. It was initially thought that their goal was simple expansion of territory, but it was eventually revealed that their leader, Annihilus, was an Omnicidal Maniac. | |

Body Harvest: The Bugs are a hostile alien species inhabiting an artificial comet who return every 25 years to consume entire swaths of humanity. Because of time travel being utilized to undo the attacks, you're fighting with them over a hundred year period, and every new generation of the bugs features new enemy units. | |

The second season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic features the Changelings, insectoid ponies with the ability to change their forms, appearing out of nowhere to consume the love created from the wedding. In the season 5 finale, "The Cutie Remark", we get to see a Bad Future where said invasion succeeded. The last bastion of ponykind is a small village in the Everfree Forest, led by Zecora. The last we see of them is Chrysalis finding their village and attacking with an army far greater than that of the rebellion. |

The Chimera Ant arc of Hunter × Hunter is a different version of a Bug War involving the eponymous insects, which mostly resemble insect-human-another-animal hybrids because of the Queen's method of reproduction (eating other species). The Ants acquire intelligence and individuality from humans, which conflicts with the Hive Caste System and Hive Mind of the species. As such, many Ants leave to become leaders themselves or side with the humans to defeat the King. Yet, a poisonous explosion is used to kill the King in the end. | |

The backstory of Ryzom has, as one of its prominent points, the Great Swarming. Caused by the Fyros running into the Kitins in the Prime Roots and trying to kill them, the resulting Zerg Rush covered most of the surface world where Homins lived and forced the Kami and the Karavan into an Enemy Mine scenario, evacuating Homins to safe havens throughout Atys through use of Mass Teleportation while they did the bulk of the fighting. This is why the Homins now live in what they refer to as "The New Lands". Later on in the game proper, a Second Great Swarming occurred in the New Lands, forcing the Kami and the Karavan to team up and evacuate the Homins to a safe haven again. | |

It can go pretty much any way in Stellaris; custom and procedurally generated arthopoid species, like any species can range anywhere from Absolute Xenophobe to peace-loving space hippies. The preset arthopoids, however, are the Proud Warrior Race Guy Kel-Azaan Republic, the Ix'Idar Hive Mind, and the slave-driving Xanid Suzerainty. All three are likely to come to blows with the United Nations of Earth on ideological grounds if they spawn in the same galaxy, and the xenophobic Commonwealth of Man will probably start an Evil Versus Evil war with them on principle. | |

Threatened in Children of Time (2015), which sees a human Colony Ship fleeing a Homeworld Evacuation discovering that the only still-viable planet of all those terraformed by Old Humanity is already occupied by a species of Uplifted Animal Giant Spiders, which the humans are understandably horrified to discover. Ultimately defied, when the spiders infect the human ship with a brain-altering virus — the same one that gave them sentience — that forces the humans to empathize with the spiders and recognize them as fellow sapient organisms. Spider society has its issues, but genocide isn't one of them, and with the humans' instinctive arachnophobia removed they're perfectly happy to share the place with them. | |

Z from Antz survived a war with termites. While the ant characters, especially their faces, are highly anthropomorphic to the point of essentially being a Furry Lens, the termites are completely non-anthropomorphized. However, despite being portrayed as monstrous creatures during the war scene, they do seem capable of intelligence, as General Mandible and the Queen discuss earlier peace negotiations with the termite colony. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Subverted in the episode "Nemesis". Chakotay crashes on a jungle planet and becomes involved in a guerrilla war against crab-faced Predator Pastiche aliens after seeing the atrocities they commit against the helpless human-looking aliens. It turns out that he was actually brainwashed by the nice-looking aliens, and the ugly-looking aliens were the ones trying to save him. Subverted with Species 8472, who have a mind very similar to humans'. It's just the appearance difference which led to conflict (and the fact that their first contact was with the Borg). |

Even though it was not a science fiction story, the short story "Leiningen Versus the Ants" is about just that: Leiningen and his plantation crew fighting an army of millions of ants. Although the ants were only a little bigger than normal ones, they could still strip a large pampas stagnote not as impressive as it might sound - the pampas deer is a small species of South American deer, about the size of a very large dog to the bone in six minutes. | |

Metroid: Metroid II: Return of Samus and Metroid: Samus Returns revolve around Samus hunting the Metroids in SR388. While the infants look like extraterrestrial jellyfish, the Alpha and Gamma phases of the Metroid lifecycle are very insect-like, though the later metamorphoses are instead dinosaur-like. There is the conflict with the Space Pirates, which almost all resemble insects (to varying degrees, depending on the game), and their society and habits described in the Metroid Prime series is often compared to that of insects. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes has an early plot point dealing with how the Galactic Federation Marines were wiped out by a swarm of insectoid Splinters. Played with, in that while regular Splinters can be fairly dangerous to anyone who isn't as well-armed as Samus, the specimens that attacked the Marines were an abnormally strong and aggressive batch possessed by the Ing, an extradimensional species of Starfish Aliens. Further played with due to the presence of the Luminoth, a race of friendly moth-like humanoids who are bitter enemies of the Ing. |

TerraforMARS, a play on the word 'terraforming', involves a notably stupid idea in which the governments of Earth, seeking to deal with dwindling resources on Earth, decide to send roaches and some fungus to Mars as a way to terraform it. Safe to say, 200 years later when they finally send humans up there to see if it works, the welcoming committee wasn't too pleased. The welcoming committee in question were made of sapient, 7 feet tall, humanoid roaches with huge, oogly eyeballs and equipped with supernatural speed, strength and a noticeable lack of anything resembling mercy, if the way they massacre the astronauts are any indication. Especially interesting is the way they Bait-and-Switch protagonists. Not even the touching way they build up relationships in the first two chapters is any help considering they are all massacred. The second group is no better and the Love Interest died almost immediately with only two survivors. The third and most current generation so far seem to be faring, somewhat well.

Starflight series — Somewhat averted: the Veloxi are not very nasty to anyone, but they do charge tolls for flying through their space. Not paying the toll obviously results in a hostile encounter. They also dislike you removing artifacts from planets in their space and not handing them back over. However, that is not what qualifies the aversion. The fact they are in possession of world-destroying bombs they revere as godly artifacts is. Kind of makes you wonder how this even began. They will beat the crap out of you for being bad at maths, as six is a sacred number to them, and their security measures are programmed with this in mind. | |

Vivisector: Beast Within has a normal marine fighting against a legion of cybernetically and genetically enhanced Mix-and-Match Critters at war with your fellow soldiers... though the trope is subverted, not only due to the fact that the marine switches sides to fight with the beasts against the humans, but the creatures you're fighting were created for your XO (some of which he promptly sends after you when you defect), and you're fighting them to help him regain control of them. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Borg were originally intended to be a bug race, the bluegill parasites featured in "Conspiracy". They ended up as humanoid cyborgs largely because it was easier on the special effects budget, making the Borg conflict a Robot War instead. They retained many aspects of this trope, though. They've got the Hive Mind, and although they do have faces, they're always set in a soulless blank stare. | |

Avalon Hill published a "Bookshelf Game" based on Starship Troopers. The first few scenarios are intended to get players used to the basic game rules of combat and movement and are fought between the human Mobile Infantry and the humanoid "Skinnies" rather than the pseudo-arachnid "Bugs", but each scenario introduces a few new rules until eventually the Bugs do appear. | |
