Its damage is kind of mediocre - Army Ants won't usually go past 70-90 damage even in the endgame, although it hits multiple enemies. Insect Cannon, on the other hand, can pretty easily reach around 120-130 damage, which is pretty solid, and neither of those attacks are learned at particularly late levels, although they are the strongest moves in terms of straight damage. I can't speak about Adam & The Ants, since I haven't gotten that one yet, but I imagine it's a bit more useful than Army Ants in just about every area.

Beyond that, though, the Stand is good at support. It can inflict Poison, Darkness, Fear, Berserk, and most notably, the unique conditions Bugs and Swarmed. Beetle Shield also lets it raise Durability for the whole party, which is quite helpful for longer battles. Plus, the fact that it's long-range means that it'll never be completely ineffective.

Overall, it's outclassed by several other Stands in terms of damage, but it's pretty solid on the support side of things, and the damage isn't bad anyway.
