I once wanted to make an insect shaman... I figured the ideal one for most
running purposes would be mantis shamans because:

- They like to kill other insect spirits.
- Unlike most of the other insect spirits, they only can have a finite
number of spirits rather than a whole smegging horde of them.

Also, you may be able to talk your GM into letting you take a flaw (if you
use that system) that has to do with the fact that you will eventually be
insect fodder as soon as you lose your usefulness, especially if you're
character is a male mantis shaman. =)

You may also invest in the 2nd edition Grimoire if you don't already have
it. It also has stuff on bugs in there, IIRC. A few other adventures
besides UB that have bugs in them if you want to check that out.
