The daughter repeatedly tells a boy "no" and she becomes pregnant as a result of the encounter, but she attacks him with bug limbs to stop the activities and no nudity is shown, as well as no violence and she does not cry. She is not restrained but he is kind of using his weight against her, as they're on a trampoline.

The daughter repeatedly says "no" and tells the neighbor's son to stop as they have a sexual encounter. Earlier in the movie he appears to try and kiss her as well, which she reacts to by biting his neck. The sexual encounter ends with her transforming into a bug and attacking him, but she does become pregnant after the fact. No nudity is shown.

The daughter's eyes expand like bubblegum bubbles, the eyes have no pupils or irises drawn on, and do not explode. The next shot her head is replaced with a bug.

The wife comedically smashes a bottle on the husband,s head, although he seems largely unaffected. The husband begins to get mad when the wife returns with bags of clothes, but nothing happens.

Briefly, Jane's eyes expand (imagine bubblegum) before switching to a bug head. As well as the parent's faces stretching after the bug egg is crushed. The dog is revealed to be a bug, and its face stretches out similar to the dog-thing.

The town chants to "hang up" the bug family, and the father briefly has a (very thin) noose around his neck. No actual hanging occurs.

The brother and sister attempt to strangle each other, though the actors have a visibly loose grip. There is no gasping or visible distress, they're just p****d off.

Technically, as the daughter lays an egg. She begins going into labor after being pushed to the ground, and gasps before an egg rolls across the floor. It's quickly stomped by another character.
