|[[Image:Exedexes_Bee.gif]]|| '''Bees''' are the first small insect type that you will encounter.  They approach your craft from the top of the screen, and from the sides.  They tend to move at a slow pace, and they never make any changes in direction.  They fire two bullets out at slight angles to their current direction.

|[[Image:Exedexes_Beetle.gif]]|| '''Beetles''' tend to occur later on in stages.  Like Bees, they appear from the sides of the screen.  They zoom towards you, but after they pass you, they stop and begin to reorient themselves in your direction.  When they are facing you again, they take off once more in your direction.  This behavior can repeat itself for a number of times.  They do not fire at you.

|[[Image:Exedexes_Fly.gif]]|| '''Flies''' tend to appear just before a stage boss is about to appear.  They fly out in large group formations, either from the top left, or the top right of the screen.  They fly diagonally across the screen until they are just past the center, and then they begin to arc back to the side they appeared from, rolling in to a spin as they leave.  A couple of flies may fire at you as they pass.

|[[Image:Exedexes_Dragonfly.gif]]|| '''Dragonflies''' are especially deadly, since they appear exclusively from the bottom of the screen.  They rise up from the bottom and attempt to lock on to your position.  When they pass you, they begin to arc around in a circle trying to lock on to you once more.  They fire infrequently, but when they do, they fire a spread of three bullets.

|[[Image:Exedexes_Stingray.gif]]|| '''Stingrays''' usually appear at the very beginning or very end of a stage, including during a boss battle.  A squadron of 8 of them fly up from the lower level of the screen into a line formation at the top of the screen before pealing out and attempting to crash into your craft.

=== Large Insects ===
Larger insects will appear from time to time, making your battle very difficult.  They typically take ten shots to destroy, although some might require more.  After receiving six shots, they turn from green to yellow.  After two more shots, they turn purple.  Two more shots will destroy them.  They can appear alone or in groups of two or four.  They follow very precise patterns across the screen and do not deviate from them unless they turn purple.  Some large insects that turn purple will break from formation and execute a dive attack in a last ditch effort to destroy you before you destroy them.  Large insects lob bombs at your craft which can be destroyed by both your regular gun and by Mega-Crush bombs.
