When selecting the cards to put in your deck you have to be aware of your mana curve, currently over 30% of your spells has a CMC of 5 or more and you have no mana acceleration, so you will find yourself stuck with expensive spells without enough mana to cast them very often.

To help fix the mana issues i would cut both Plague Beetle and Caustic Caterpillar to add a set of Sakura-Tribe Elder, he helps you ramp to your big insects and adds more lands on the board to help Scute Mob do their thing. I would also cut both Asceticism and Pincher Beetles for a set of Cultivate/Kodama's Reach.

I would also cut the 3 Bond Beetle for another Scute Mob and 2 Vorapede. Drudge Beetle is a card that does very little, it's just a 2/2 with an extremely overcosted scavenge, so i would swap them for Deadbridge Goliath.

Another good card for this deck is Swarmyard, i would cut 4 Swamp for it without thinking twice.

Those changes leave you with a mono green mainboard, maybe you should drop the and go with Beast Within, Acidic Slime and Caustic Caterpillar for removal on the sideboard. Other good sideboard options: Tree of Redemption, Prey Upon, Harmonize
