Insects-Plus

Notice: This mod is now discontinued until further notice. I feel that some of the largest features have now been implemented directly by Wildcard (namely the insect breeding) so for the future this mod will likely not have any further updates. Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support up until this point, I hope I'll get around to making a new mod in the future that adds more meaningful content to Ark.
