Wouldn't an 850GHz signal be lost if an insect flew between sender and receiver? Isn't that going to make it pretty impractical? Honest questions. I could easily be missing something.

An insect would not block a THz EM wave, just as the walls of your home (probably) don't block your cell phone's radio.
