Check out Harlequin's Back. It (or rather he) speaks of such things. The
bugs are not horrors. They are merely some astral creatures that, like the
horrors, can only surface when the mana level is high enough. It just so
happens that the mana level requirement for the bugs to travel to earth is
rather a lot lower than for horrors. And horrors will indisciminitly destroy
bugs just like they will (meta)humans. So, in a fashion the bugs are the
precursers to horrors, but only in the sense of the mana levels required for
them to cross. They are not related or anything.

correct
there are three things that come in order (see ED main book into
info)
wraith like spirts - ie PAE Wraith
Bugs - which are approx 200 years early
Horrors - oops!. note that the things there are SR stats for are
horror constructs and not horrors (see ED for the difference). As far
as i know they all come from different places in the 'metaplanes' ,
FASA are being slow with the info , presumably to keep those of use
that GM and Play in the dark.
Unfortunately you really need to have at leasted played Harlequins
back and know a bit about ED to understand how this lot works to any
degree.
