And for the Mosquito; Mosquitos don't have any venom... Perhaps a Wasp? Also, not sure if its important or not, but millipedes are kinda slow. Maybe an Ant?

I personally do not like the idea of the 50% chance thing. This ruins the whole point strategy part of the game and bases it on luck... That would not appropriate. Also, damaging once every two turns AND being curable seems too much. That would make the special way underpowered.
But anyways, new insect team:
Insect Team
Runner: Cockroach
Soldier: Ant
Medic: Queen Bee
Sniper: Dung Beetle (throws dung)
A special that pushes back enemy units is too powerful. First of all, it makes it hard for the enemy to hold his own ground without being pushed back. Also, because the enemy is pushed back, you can storm with all your troops without much concern. That's why I did not like the dung beetle as a special, but I still wanted to include it in the team because it was a cool unit and fit the sniper role perfectly.
Heavy: Rhinoceros Beetle
Special: Mosquito
H:2
S:2
D:N/A
Ability: Disease (Diseases enemy unit. Unit that is diseased loses 1hp per turn. This disease damage occurs at the END of YOUR turn. Reason for that is so the unit can still block your movement for at least one extra turn till it dies, therefore, it is more balancing. Diseased unit can be healed but the disease effect still remains.)

What I would suggest rather would that the ghosts ability would allow it's own to shroud the identity of adjacent units. The opposing player would know that there is a unit there, however he wouldn't know what type of unit it was until adjacent.

That's a good point, and I have to say, your idea sounds great, but it would almost immediately be revealed once it moved, unless you decided to move everything 2 spaces. The moving units could also just be stopped before hitting the hidden unit.

I like this idea. You can send your unit as far as it could travel... But it would get blocked if the invisible teammate was in the way. And of course, the invisibility would wear off.
