Which is fun occassionally, but not forever... It just gets annoying
throwing yet more insect spirits at the players all the time. After a
while I just went "And you kill another bunch of flesh forms. Cross off X
rounds" because I didn't feel like slowing down the game any more with
pointless encounters with roaming insect spirits...

What I found the biggest problem with Bug City is that I as a GM had to
adapt to totally different kinds of adventures than I was used to. The
players had no goal except for "getting out of the city" without having
the slightest idea how, which didn't help me one bit at all :( Now the PCs
are out of Chicago and have been "hired" by the UCAS government through
some Tir Tairngire elves in order to perform a few missions against
remaining UB assets -- the first one is in Quebec...
