Science Fiction Featuring Insectoid Aliens

I've been overusing the top list format on my blog lately so I'm working on a longer post looking at science fiction's fascination with alien insects.

So I'm trying to come up with a list of movies or books that feature insectoid aliens to base the article on. Any suggestions?

The obvious two are Ender's Game and Starship Troopers, but there are lots more and I want to get a good variety.

I can't think of any right now, but I'll spend some time browsing through my DVD collection to see what I come up with.

Actually, you have things like Antz, Eight Legged Freaks and Arachnaphobia that comes to mind.

It was a nice little movie. Not so high on fantasy part...but still good.

MIB is a good one, with the Roach and all. Oh, and the Mimic series.

Star Trek Enterprise had the Xindi, which had an insectoid branch.

Very true, completely forgot about that.

The Than from Andromeda and there was a species in Bab5 that were insects as well.
