What if you woke up one morning to find that you are a great insect? Would you opt to stay in your room, hiding under a sofa a la The Metamorphosis by Kafka, or trash cities like the bug of B-movie fame? Or would you do something entirely different?

I guess it depends on how big I was. I mean, if you're a 50 foot tall praying mantis, then you have no choice but to go to Japan and trash some cities.
If I was the same size as I am now, I would go the metamorphosis route. See, in The Metamorphosis, Gregor doesn't intead to hide under a couch, he intends to go to work still. I think it would be hilarious to go to work as an insect.
Of course, if I remained my current size, but was transformed into an insect with some sort of weaponry, I would most definately go on a killing spree. Then B-movies wouldn't seem so chessy, cuz they would be based on actual events.

I think it would be cool to turn into the queen of a termite colony. Ain't nothing more fucked up than seeing a giant slimy worm like creature give birth to an endless stream of larvae.

Or even human giving birth to larvae is disturbing - as cheezy as it was, I cite the 80s movie where Jeff Goldblum was in the machine with the fly and got himself all screwed up and his gfriend gave birth to a giant maggot... cheezy, but still a disturbing movie...

If it had been a tapeworm (segment by segment) instead, would the event have been considered a multiple birth?
