Flyrants are as standard.
Venomethropes are here to give gaunts and biovores and carnifexes (and everything else on turn 1) 3+ cover from "intervening models" rule (10 gaunts in front of my 30 gaunts which are in front of my dakkafexes and biovores)
Zoanthropes are here to provide backline synapse for 'fexes and gaunts. Also can help to deal with armour 13+ if crone is busy with flyers and flyrants are busy with something more important.
Biovores help to get enemy ( especially 4+ armor enemies) off of the objectives. Also can D3 spore mine created by them charge on same turn they were created?
Dakkafexes are being Dakkafexes and shoot up stuff.

Scoring objectives might be problem so I have to focus on enemy's troops.
Also, I have to pray that between Venomethropes, night fighting, target saturation and any possible catalyst, my enemy won't be able to kill all zoanthropes and hive tyrants. Otherwise, I lose.

I think toxin would be more use more often than Electroshock Grubbs. Anything you can flame you can assault so don't really see it as needed.

I don't think you really need 3 Venomthropes, 1 is often easier to hide and even then I think they work better with more threats.

I'd consider putting your Zoanthropes into 1 unit. You'll need all 3 to kill a tank and it means only 1 LD test rather than 2.

I'm shocked to see a Nid list with so little Heavy Support it really is the best thing in this dex and you really should have max choices always. More Carnifexes is a good idea whilst the Exocrine helps you deal with Riptides and Dreadknights.

What can I really drop (except 1-2 venomethropes), should I drop crone? I could drop Elecctroshock and crone to fit in exocrine or a dakkafex.

I've updated my list I've split venomethropes into 2 units of 1 to make hiding them easier. I've dropped electroshock grubs and Crone to buy Exocrine, I have 50 points left so I guess I could run 2x2 Zoanthropes to get more synapse coverage. Any ideas are welcome! (Also, zoanthropes are my only ranged anti-tank AND my only backline synapse so this might be an issue)

Personally I'd use those 50 points to up the Biovores to another Exocrine unless you particularly want the biovores in the army? That gives you then 6 MCs for your opponent to deal with and more AP2 for dealing with enemy MCs.
