'''When Insects Attack''' is the 6th level in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1]], and the sixth of the [[lesson level]]s. This level specializes in [[bug]]s and [[Paramecium|paramecia]] and how they interact with other [[tile]]s around them, such as [[dirt]] and [[gravel]].

Cut through the area above the starting point to get the [[Computer chip|chip]] being circled by a yellow bug, then continue along the outer wall until you reach the two chips behind the dirt where a paramecium can be found. You need to wait [3] before clearing the second dirt tile - the safest way of doing this is DUL. Clearing this dirt tile will cause the paramecium to get stuck looping indefinitely, so you can go around the edge of this room collecting all the chips with no trouble.
The best possible time in the [[MS ruleset]] is 185 seconds remaining. Cut through the area above the starting point to get the [[Computer chip|chip]] being circled by a yellow bug, then continue along the outer wall until you reach the two chips behind the dirt where a paramecium can be found. [[Chip]] needs to wait [3] moves before clearing the second dirt tile; a safe way to wait out the [3] is by moving D-U-L and then continuing right. Clearing this dirt tile will cause the paramecium to get stuck looping indefinitely, so you can go around the edge of this room collecting all the chips with no trouble.
By this point you should have three chips remaining to collect. The first you'll go for is the one in the center area with the fire; since we've waited so long to pick it up, the bug will not get in our way. The two chips left are both at the bottom of the level; the first one to get will be the one on the right, which we can get without interference from the [[monster]]s. Collect the final chip and run for the [[exit]].

* In TS_Tutorials, the [[level set]] which this level originated from, the level was simply titled ''Bugs and Paramecia''.
* When Insects Attack has the shortest [[Bold time|bold route]] of all nine lesson levels, clocking in at only 15 seconds in [[MS ruleset|MS]] and 14 seconds in [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]].
