Butchering Insects

It is not easy getting Orange Insects, they hardly ever turn up in your nests. You will get the occasional egg from the Reliable Ally event.

But you can butcher your Blue and Purple Insects for Shells to buy an Orange one. See the screenshots below for the steps to take. Save these actions to perform on Sunday when you have turned your Raspberry on to get maximum points for the Strongest Warzone (SvS).

Note that you get the best return if you do not star up the insects, but butcher them at star lv 1. Higher than star 2 they yield less shells combined (for instance a 3 star Blue = 165 shells while 4x 1 star Blue = 4 x 42 = 168 shells. At higher levels the difference increases).

If there are Insects you do not want to butcher by accident, protect them by the lock symbol in the information screen.
