The Ticks Moth friend and there was another character called the Moth
phabox (RIP):
Batman had an Enemy called 'Killer Moth' and I seem to have a vague memory of a DC baddie based on a grasshopper, may have been in one of Bob Haney's books, ring any bells with anyone here ?

The Moth was a Steve Rude superhero. And I remember that "grasshopper" guy and I'm sure it was in an issue of B&B. I can almost see the cover. There's so much rubbish in my memory, it takes a while for answers to pop out.
The Scorpion from Atlas/Seaboard

Actually, the two Grasshoppers were in a 1960's issue of DETECTIVE. Batman also fought a villain called the Wasp (and an Ant-Man), and Swarm was originally a CHAMPIONS villain. Let's not forget the Hellgrammite, whom Batman and Creeper fought in BRAVE AND BOLD (and later Green Arrow fought in WORLD'S FINEST). There was a one-shot character named Bee-Boy in an old SUPERBOY. I guess we've got Wildcat's foe, the Yellow Wasp, and let's not forget Marvel's bad guy The Beetle. And, yep, the Silver Scarab was the son of the Earth-Two Hawkman and Hawkgirl and appeared in INFINITY, INC. before dying and becoming a Sandman, and then dying, period. Plus there's the Scarab in PROJECT: SUPERPOWERS. Also Spider-Man's villain the Human Fly...we could go on like this forever.

How about Bee-29 The Bombardier? I've forgotten the publisher, but I filed my copies with my "Carlson's Comics." Granted, he's a real bee and basically a funny animal comic, but he's also very much a hero.
