Back in 1950, the zoo at Madras, South India, had a huge arch on the entrance. Around the circumference of the arch were carved images of the ten avatars of Vishnu. When I asked him, the director of the zoo said that the progression of avatars represented evolution.
The first is a fish, the second an amphibian turtle, the third a pig, the fourth a man-animal, and so on.
I do not recall any mention of the manifestation of God as an insect. That does not mean that such a mention does not exist in any scripture.

What an odd question! lol
I'll go with the worm. A worm is powerless: behold the despised Christ: "But I am a worm, and not a man, the reproach of men and an outcast from the people." [Psalm 21:7]
Jesus was charged with our infirmities and weaknesses: "Surely he has born our infirmities." [Isaiah 53:4] A worm encloses itself in its tomb and is resurrected later without being corrupted. Christ dies and is resurrected without his body being subject to corruption. "Neither did his flesh see corruption." [Acts 2:21]
The worm resurrects to a body that is, so to speak, wholly spiritual. It does not crawl. It flies! It no longer feeds on leaves, it drinks from the flowers. It is no longer lowly: nothing could be more magnificently clothed. Likewise, the resurrected Christ is full of glory!
So the worm was the insect God came to earth as.

I would say...mosquito..they're everywhere (omnipotent) they bite you no matter what (Smiting thee) and they give you diseases (since God made everything on the world, or at least to an extent, the Devil made all the "bad" things, but who made the Devil? God...so in effect God made the diseases...)
