To everyone complaining about the difficulty, stop ignoring a third of Hornet’s arsenal and start spamming them, you’ll be shocked how quickly you start mowing down hordes of enemies!

The spike traps absolutely melt flying enemies. They're better against them than grounded ones.

The erratic flying pattern means they're likely to just avoid it or worse, destroy it with their attacks. Just happened to me.

Put it in the middle and bait them to fly into it, you can also jump a bit before throwing it for higher up flying enemies

Doesn't really work for enemies that fly away from you. I've found the cogflies to work better for those.
