I'm waffling over on the Trope Launch Pad on whether we've "already got" this trope:

I want to launch a trope I call "Insectary Exponent" (I'm rather proud of the name, though it is open to variables, such as "arthropodic") that describes the use of bugs as an omen of monsters or demons in horror fiction.

I'm waffling because while Flies Equals Evil by name only lists one type, several are mentioned in the trope's description, although only flies really get mentioned in the examples. The general gist of the tropes are the same: bug as signal for evil. If it should be determined that Insectary Exponent crosses over too much with this one's already-established nature, I'd like to suggest reworking Flies Equals Evil into the broader form.

You can find the trope on the launch pad here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=uxc4iiqcfjkzc3163gzlwthv

I'm just a dumbass who loves LOONA.

~Luna Sea, sorry for the wait.

As the draft in question is launched with a different name, the thread is no longer necessary.
