Insect Axes are the upgrade of the basic Pebblet Axe, giving you the ability to chop down much bigger weeds for more efficient construction material crafting. The Insect Axe is a fairly good option for a weapon, however at this stage in the game our go to is still the ant club! We recommend obtaining an ant club as the bugs you need to face for this axe can be tricky earlier on and the ant club makes it exponentially easier!

First, you're going to need a Ladybug Head, from, you guessed it, killing a Ladybug. Hardest part is finding a lady bug they roam around the map and can often be in less than ideal places! The ladybug head is not a guaranteed drop and has taken us up to 5 ladybug kills to obtain!

Next, you need three Bombardier Parts. As mentioned above, Bombardier Beetles roam around the big rock by the rake on the western side of map. Acid spraying fast bugs, these guys are the real deal and are quite fast! Kite them round dodge the acid and some armour will always help!

Finally, you're going to need some Spider Silk. You have 3 options (or 2 depending on how your inclined), sneak north into orbweaver territory and harvest spider webs, kill spiderlings and finally take on an orbweaver or wolf spider.
The easiest option solo would be killing spiderlings OR sneaking into the orbweaver area and harvest the webs.
As a team of 2-4, Orbweavers are easy mode and you can get other materials for crafting! Just bring an ant club or 4!

Just remember, You need a work bench for the insect axe, once you have the materials, head on over and craft your new Insect Axe!

Other than the ladybug head you can get all you need from web sacs, found mostly in the hedge and oak tree, because you get web fiber from it and a chance for different bug parts such as stinkbug parts and gas sacks, as well as bombardier parts. You can also play on a custom difficulty with durabilty off so you don't have to repair it.

While in game, open the Steam Overlay and browse the available game guides

we stopped playing a while a go, will pick it up again soon. Safe to say this guide is somewhat out of date now! Hope everyone is still enjoying this game!

The game is much less fun to play since they changed how you repair weapons and armor. In the past, you needed 1 Quartitz for everything, now you need the specific parts from the bugs that comprise the axe. Might as well just make a new axe.

you can get the tier 2 axe recipe by getting a lady bug head and analyzing it

Spider fang sword is easier to make and it function as an axe

Hey Moving Target, yeah that is a great suggestion! After the new patch we have actually found the drop rate has seemingly increased we haven't killed a ladybug to date that has not dropped both part and a head!
