Sending a wave of stinging insects at your foes and then watching as they wave their arms around in a frenzy never really gets old. Your little pests will inflict damage on their target(s) and keep them occupied while you blast away or snap pictures. It's fun for the whole family!
While entertaining, I can't really say that I use this plasmid much. Winter Blast seems more effective for paralyzing a single Splicer or Big Daddy and its effects are instantaneous (rather than waiting for the insects to actually start buzzing around your intended target). You really can't go wrong with either, though.
