The insect life on Dathis II is not of particular interest to the native Dachlyd, apart from certain delicious larvae. The armor-like skin of the Dachlyd allow them to safely ignore most insects. A notable exception are the giant insects. These larger arthropods can injure or even kill an adult Dachlyd. Fortunately, most giant insects are rare outside of the equator region. | The insect life on Dathis II is not of particular interest to the native Dachlyd, apart from certain delicious larvae.

* '''Karvid''': Termites about the size of Welsh corgi. They have bright red heads with fluorescent markings and black bodies and limbs. They live in small colonies of 5-40. They defend themselves, but are seldom seen outside of the protection of their humid tunnels. A karvid larva is widely considered a perfect meal. They are notorious in that their tunnels are large enough for Dachlyd young to enter, but too narrow for parents to pursue. | * '''Karvid''': Termites about the size of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_Corgi Welsh corgi].
