I think that would fall under the Homunculus body ... (the table in
Grimmy just has common bodies) ... what would be the armor be? and would
the spirit be able to move?
Armor: Looking at Companion 5 for RoleMaster (which has a list of armor
types based on material composistion),
Soft Plants 0
Rigid Plants 1
Wood (listed in Grimmy as 3 -- Hey, it's little wooden boy!)
Hard Woods 3 or maybe 4

I don't think insects would be treated as one organism ... however if the
Ally is inhabiting the Queen, you could prolly gain control of the whole
hive (though only sense / communicate with the Queen ...)
but hey, would you say that a stinging insect's venom is increased in
power when inhabited by an Ally? (for those insects that only do
neglegable damage unless en masse, I would say they gain their venom will
do [Force] L damage.)
