Flyers

Beetle File:Beetle.jpg	HP	Damage	Location	Drops

	0	0-0	Cave 1-29	Bug Meat
	Behaviour:	They will fly at you at high speeds and deal drive-by-damage.
	Strategies:	Sword timing - Stand still and swing at them right before they would hit you. Use a weapon with high knockback to make it easier.

Crabs

Stone Crab File:Stone Crab.png	HP	Damage	Location	Drops
	29-36	0-0	Cave 1-29	Crab
	Behaviour:	They disguise themselves as stones, sometimes surprising the player.
	Strategies:	Either use the pickaxe to knock the stone off their heads, which makes them flee. Kill them while they are fleeing. You can tell it's a Stone Crab hiding under a rock because the rock won't have a shadow. Or preferably: Use your weapon to hit them directly.

Other

Maggot File:Maggot.png File:Maggot cocoon.png	HP	Damage	Location	Drops
	0	0-0	Cave ???	Bug Meat
	Behaviour:	They will come in (small) groups and attack on sight, although not in a group intelligent way. If you manage it wisely, you can trigger them one by one. (And you should!) If they take too much damage, they will quickly run away from you and pupate, to turn into #Moths. During pupation, they turn blue and negate any damage dealt to them.
	Strategies:	Pull them one by one, moving close enough to aggro one but not many others. Use a weapon with as little knockback as possible, since you don't want to throw them into the rest of the group or give them the chance to run away. Kill them quickly before they can run away.
