— Unknown, Fall expedition to Skull Island, 1936

The following is a list of bugs living on Skull Island in the continuity of the 2005 film King Kong by Peter Jackson.

Monsters

Test Image.png Skull Island Termites were divided into three castes. The winged variety left the mound to breed, and the two soldier classes protected it. The spade-shaped variety had powerful jaws, and the narrow-headed variety could spit noxious chemicals to ward away attackers.
Test Image.png Scissor-Beetles were blood-sseeking flightless carrion insects that used grasshopper-like legs to hop to prey, where they used their blade-like mandibles to cut off chunks of meat.
Test Image.png Maggotflies were hairy, flying bugs that dropped their young on rotting carcasses, while feeding off the maggots left by other insects. If the adult Maggotfly was unable to deposit their young within the first few hours after their hatching, they would eat their parent, on which they rode.
Test Image.png Meat Weevils were a species that laid eggs in carcasses that were so resilient that they survived being eaten by carrion feeders that hatched and emerged from the respective animal's dung.
Test Image.png Carrion Centipedes were carrion feeders that would remove meat from a carcass and bury it.
Test Image.png Ornate Carrion Beetles, in order to stake their claims at the rare and highly demanded unattended kills of Skull Island, evolved to smell carrion from miles around, and emit noxious chemicals from their brightly colored shells to deter other carrion organisms. The swarms of beetles could then stake an exclusive claim to the carcass.
Test Image.png Nigracassida dung beetles grew to three or four inches in length and specialized in harvesting the more than plentiful deposits of excrement on Skull Island and burying them for later consumption. They were preyed on by White Wedgeheads, a species of lizard that evolved specifically to eat them.
Test Image.png Moonspiders, a variety of the ten-legged Sunspiders, hunted at night to avoid being preyed upon by larger organisms. Their powerful jaws and paralytic venom made short work of the rodents, lizards, birds, and dinosaur chicks it fed on. Moonspiders adapted to pick up the scent of egg matter in the night, cluing the Moonspider in that a nest was hatching. The Moonspider then located the nest and would eat the hatchling dinosaurs.
Test Image.png Estrivermis were swamp-dwelling fifteen to twenty inch parasites that used their sharp, pointed mouths to burrow into blood vessels and attach themselves. The Estrivermis would then attach themselves and feed from the blood vessel for the rest of its life, with its tail still hanging outside, spewing excrement and eggs into the swamp waters.
Test Image.png Profanus were twenty to thirty inch long free-swimming tapeworms that burrowed through the skin of its prey to expose the flesh and deposit its eggs into the wound. The Profanus larvae then hatched and lived in the wound until they swam away to breed.
