Does Bible say that God created insects?
score:4
I don't know of any verse that specifically mentions insects, but at the beginning of John it says 'All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.'. JNDs translation puts it 'All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.' So he must have created the insects...
Some other food for thought.....
Amos 7 'Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth;'(be sure to get the context)
Psalm 105 'He spoke, and there came dog-ο¬ies, [and] gnats in all their borders....He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;'
Psalm 50 'I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:'

I'm not aware of any specific exegetical basis, but yes, "creeping things" (in Genesis 1:24 and elsewhere) has usually been understood to include both reptiles and insects (or all arthropods more generally).
