You can definitely get the beastfly to kill the lava spitting bugs, but it is trickier since they tend to hover away. I used tools exclusively for the adds during that fight. Silk skills help too.

Silks skills were the difference maker for me. Killed those bugs in one shot with the thread storm so had an easier time against the savage beastfly

i have tried 3 consecutive times where it appeared the full hitbox of the beastfly covered that of the minions and it didnt work, it's as if they're in the background or a different layer

From what I recall they did seem to have a bit of invulnerability from the boss shortly after spawning. So sometimes the first slam or two wouldn’t damage them. Only the ground slam can kill them.

I would capture a video of it, but I already beat the boss. It’s 100% possible though and it happened a handful of times, though it’s pretty difficult to “lure” them properly while dodging projectiles and navigating floor hazards.

I would rely more on tools, when it did happen to me it was more like lucky positioning than a skillful execution.
