Every insect event in Fallout 76
If you’ve ever wanted to roleplay a post-apocalyptic exterminator, the various insect events in Fallout 76 can make your dreams (or nightmares) come true. Events are some of the best sources for a high volume of enemies to put your builds to the test. So either grab a friend or a big gun, lest you fall to a swarm of insects in these events:
| Event | Insects |
| Campfire Tales | Ants, Bee Swarms, Bloatflies, Bloodbugs, Radroaches, Radscorpions, Stingwings, Ticks |
| Project Paradise | Ants, Bloatflies, Bloodbugs, Cave Crickets, Fireflies, Fog Crawlers, Honeybeasts, Radroaches, Stingwings, Ticks |
| Spin the Wheel | Ants, Bee Swarms, Fog Crawlers, Honeybeasts |
| Tea Time | Ants, Bloodbugs, Ticks |

While Project Paradise has many rare drops and a variety of insect enemies, it requires coordination between many players to maximize the rewards. However, the other events on the list are much more manageable for solo players or small groups.

Some of them float like butterflies, and all of them sting like bees.
