I somehow think/believe that several people are missing the point here. The
"Bug City" type of Insect Shamans would be considered a "Toxic
Variant", and
thus have those special spirits and the appropriate rules. Player-Character
Insect Shamans would NOT have such access, and would be more like "standard"
totems, with possibly the option of conjuring/summoning "worker spirits" that
would follow rules similar to the "Work Loa" in the Awakenings Book for the
Voudon.

Gosh folks, broaden a bit would ya???
