The first night after completing Rising Tide

I was on hard difficulty the last time I did it, and I was using rapid fire
The second wave they sent in like 10 fully grown wolf spiders, and I watched in horror as my worker count went from 150 to 0 in like two seconds, just wondering if anybody has done it or if it's designed so you can't survive

I am also incapable of handling the second wave, but for different reasons. I kill the spiders, but then the crabs hold me up and prevent me from respawning.
Your main issue is that you're upgrading your ants. Rapid fire are not worth upgrading, and workers especially aren't. Only upgrade if you have mortars or lag at too high a number of soldiers. Firepower is really everything, or you'll be fighting multiple waves at a time.

Ray aloft I watch your video on insane rising tide. It really help me beat hard mode.
I am trying the insane now but I am not getting very far. The furthest I get is with the crabs the first night. I can't get the amount of spiters you do. I lose a lot of ants fighting the other ants which is probably where I lose a lot of food. I have them on no fight but they still fight if they see one fighting they stop to help. Also in your video you said the other ants don't protect the food that well but is it possible they change that since you did this video? Again tks your videos are really helpful.

Np. If you wanted more material, watch balenite's video. His strategy is what I mostly take from to do so well (should be linked in description, but if it's not then I need to add it).
I have repeated 2.1 insane a few times, and I will admit it's the one level I continue to consistently fail at. As for the food guarded by ants, you really need to move the pheromone around so as to avoid walking past fighting ants. The scouts of the enemy actually attack passing workers, so it's possible to either lure them away or take a route around them to save time and resources. Other than that, try your best to time it so that you can pull as few of them as possible, and don't be afraid to retreat underground to stop them from building up by the ramp (this causes them to lose aggro).
I realized your workers, if set on no fighting, will actually attack if they are attacked while not holding food. If they are holding food, they ignore it, though.

I just made a video of 2.1 Insane with mortars if it helps, almost made it through first night after but I needed more of a meat shield. https://youtu.be/mDv53EpRNYI
Nope; hardest is beating hold-out.
It has no end. That's the joke.
I'm not very funny.

Camping the tunnel is a strat. Just don't get too greedy and go after too much during the day. I tried to take on the high ground tiger beetles, and lost 4/5 of my ants. My remaining ants were insufficient to camp the tunnel.
