Nope. Bugs are scared of Horrors, since Horrors like to eat bugs just as much as they do Namegivers. Now, maybe if the Blood Mage/Bug Shaman was a former member of the Horror cult, and took a widget they needed for a powerful ritual to establish a new bridge, and the cult contacts some runners to do some bug hunting and retrieve their lost property, and then 'invites' them to stay for the ceremony once they've returned the widget...

And maybe a painted elf could show up at some point?

Oh, that is good...  Now what could we do with the reverse of that transition (Bug Shammy to Blood Mage)?

Bug Shamans don't stay sane long enough to learn blood magic. Once they summon a Queen, they're usually disposed of.

Heh. Switch that up a little bit, let the new bug Shammy help his old group to build that bridge, but switch the destination to the Invae home plane......... And when it opens. oh look! A veritable buffet of new casters to invest!! How thoughtful of him.

Then the runners get hired to go save the cult members....... I would pay to be there and see the faces of the players when they figure out who they saved....

Get paid, then kill them all a split-second later.  Yeah, I've come near 'runs like that.  Actually, I'm sort of writing one like that ...
