For example, some insectoid creatures resembling spiders can spit out webs with astonishing stickiness, making it difficult for a cultivator to escape once entangled.
There are also insectoid creatures similar to porcupines, whose quills can be shot out with great force.

Therefore, even if the spiritual intelligence of insectoid creatures is low, they can pose a certain degree of threat to cultivators if not dealt with carefully.
