Most, if not all insects secrete uric acid as, you would have learnt, uric acid involves little energy to create (which is good for insects). An example could be the STick Insect. But if you find any other Aussie insect, as i said before, most if not all insects secrete uric acid.

I thout Uric acid needed the most energy to create because it has the least water... so they need active transport for the water to go back into the body.. if u know wut i mean
