My feeling has always been that Bugs are supposed to be hard to kill. Bugs
are supposed to be feared, even by veteran Shadowrunners. I think it's way
too easy to kill the Bugs if you treat them as having the Vulerability to
Insecticides as written in the rules. I would halve the effects of the
insecticide on them. Yes, they look a lot like giant bugs. However, they
are from another realm, thus it is easy to justify Insecticides not even
working on them at all.

But that's just an optional thing. Under the standard rules, it's easy to
kill them with insecticides.
