Yep, but with Hopper you could use a Hornet + Insect imitation to use Hornet effect instantly, instead of ant you could use 3 Call of the Haunted to revive Centipede and Dragonfly, I mean, you have many ways to revive they, it's a die hard deck, Equip Giga-mantis+Hornet to any inzektor, destroy giga-mantis, bring back any inzektor to the field or just leave a monster with Inzektor Sword - Zektkaliber and recycle to any inzektor to hand.
Just a little thing to speed up the deck, is not really necessary (Hopper), but well, for me having 3 lady bugs and insect imitation increase the consistency of the deck since you can use it to bring Centipede, and add any inzektor to your hand (Since you can equip and use Ladybug blahblahblah), or even better, dragonfly and centipede to make a Rank 5 monster, just by having insect imitation and ladybug on hand, Hopper was just a good alternative to have an use for insect imitation while you have no ladybug on hand.
