Well, it's called "Bug Staff". If there where no bug, it would be just a stick (?)

Nah, but I still thinking that even if you don't use the bug's moves, only the staff is a cool weapon. Just like the Hunting Horn and the Hammer: the HH can play notes to give you some buffs, and Hammer can't do it. But people stills using it, because is a good weapon. So, if the bug staff where only a staff, it stills being an interesting weapon (and will make some purists don't hate this weapon).

By the way, see how the bugs change in each BS will be funny. Maybe the bugs will be inspired in the monster that belongs the weapon (for example, a G. Jaggi BS... a pink-purple bug, with wings inspired on the Jaggis' head details)
