So, we have a hive full of angry bug. Many of these bugs fly. The flyers come in various sizes but with the exception? of the biggest don't explode or have missile weapons. In a way they as the missiles. Even the smallest weight a couple of hundred pounds. They are self guided have plenty of kinetic energy and don't care if they survive an engagement. Bugs basically only fight for two purposes. They want to harvest food. They want to defend the hive. What air missions support these two strategic goals?
They have several missions for the hive:
The most obvious is scouting. They look for resources and threats and return to the hive with that information
They operate as short range interceptors attacking and destroying direct threats to the hive, especially aerial ones.
They can interdict ground units. In most cases they would prefer to drive resources to harvesting hive units but I assume they could kill resources so ground units could harvest them later.
