Nue Houjuu and Satori Komeiji.
Funny but not helpful
Nue is a funny case because her name is less of a name and more of a description. I don't think she'd tell anyone her name, if she even has one. To name something is to define it and that just wouldn't do for our little UFO girl.

In an attempt to revive conversation, here is a remix of Ghostly Eyes
. Enjoy.
Hell, why not have another?
Also, Wriggle. Stage 1 boss in perpetuity. Also, cut from Hisoutensoku. Isn't it sad, Wriggle?

I actually went back and looked up Wriggle's BAIJR article. Noticed some things I hadn't remembered. For one thing, Wriggle says during the initial article that she was already getting bored with the Insects' News Service and would probably stop it soon. By the time of the follow-up interview which is only a few days later ("You mean your article? It was only the other day I was collecting data for it, wasn't it?") the service has stopped and Wriggle professes not to remember it.
Also, I can't help but feel that Wriggle was messing with Aya a little or at least engaging in playful banter with her.
Because she says she doesn't remember the Insects' News Service and then mentions the service by name. Aya asks if she actually remembers it and Wriggle says she can't remember if she remembers.
Also, Aya implies that she eats bugs, as a crow.* Whenever anybody threatens Mystia with eating, she gets scared or angry. Wriggle is too midair slouch for that.
Wriggle is just chill.
The only thing that seems to ruffle her metaphorical feathers is humans' dismissive attitude towards bugs.
Her seeming interest in the breeding super pesticide resistant bugs might be foreboding except for the fact that she'd probably lose interest before seeing it through. Doesn't matter though. Natural selection will do the job for her and then she can take the credit.
She appears to have some bug pride with how she tepidly tried to raise bug esteem through the news service. Also, HOW DID ANYBODY EVER THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?
For example, if someone asked for a morning call, a huge amount of insects would gather together on their futon and gently wake them.
The bugs aren't just winged types; insects with many legs could also be used, allowing for plentiful variations.
GAH!
Edit:
I hope she gets into the next fighting game. If it gets made.

Wriggle would have been a gamebreaker. Totally.
...Or at the very least, she would be cool to play as. As long as she has the midair slouch somehow.
Wriggle is a very cool cucumber it seems. Easily distracted though. (Maybe that is what it is more than bad memory?)

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.
Yukari has a fairly impressive midair slouch in the fighting games. However, were it to compare against Wriggle's, she would have no choice but to surrender to the buggy nonchalance.

Me too. She deserves it. Face kicking and slouching and BEEEEEES!!! It would be awesome.
Imagine if you will, Wriggle reclining in midair as her foe dashes around madly trying to avoid a homing swarm of flies.
Reading the BAiJR article, it seems to me she's making fun of Aya. Well, so does everyone else. But I can imagine her lying back in midair, hands behind her head and an enormous smirk on her face as she says: 'I can't remember.'
And then Aya's look of complete bemusement.

That's kind of the impression I got too.

... Huh.
Couple with how she apparently messes with Aya's head and how amazingly smug she is in Inaba², there's some sort of interesting personality taking shape here, though I still lack a hook for how to describe it...
Okay, she's admittedly not at the top of my wishlist, but if they were already making plans for her, my curiosity is ... existent!
Can't think of a more deserving/plausible first-stage boss to get a spot, either.

Going with the "if you strike me down, there will be another" theory, Wriggle might be totally chill because she doesn't place any more value on her own life than any individual ant or bee. Just like Reisen is still a rabbit, Wriggle is still just a bug.
It'd be funny if she turned up in a future work as some other kind of insect and nobody even questioned it.

The cool thing is, you wouldn't even have to change her name as long as it was still a night bug.
Wriggle is a moth now? STILL A NIGHTBUG. And just change the night to day as applicable.
Flutter Daybug.
"Sup. I'm a butterfly now."
"Cool."
It wouldn't be too different from fairy resurrection, would it?
Funny but not helpful
Well, she'd have a different appearance. More like the Doctor regeneration rather than fairy regeneration. If she had the same personality that would raise the possibility that "Wriggle"'s personality was just the manifestation of the hive mind of all the insects she controls. Or something. Just saying words at this point.
Also, since she wouldn't be a firefly anymore, she'd probably have some different spellcards.

... *sigh*
And then Wriggle was a time lord...

Sorry. It was just the best example I could think of for somebody coming back to lifeish but looking differently but still being the same person kinda.

James Bond?
Funny but not helpful
Does he actually change appearance in-universe?
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
Hehe, no worries. I just had to do it because somebody had to and it might as well be me. But honestly, it's an interesting idea. A really interesting idea. One that can be played for drama, or for badassness, or for both, or for comedy, or for both in a way that makes the comedy all the funnier...
The Queen is dead! Long live the Queen!

And eventually Wriggle Stinkbug will be Queen!*

Not really, but it'd be funny.
There was a 
that "James Bond" is an alias taken by any agent numbered 007, but it was never an official thing.
EDIT: You know what'd be AWESOME? Wriggle as a waterstrider.

Yes.
Just yes.

She would be the Wriggle messiah.*
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
No, that's pretty much it, though she'd probably also have really long legs and an odd posture.

Slender Wriggle, the Bug Messiah.

I think it would be funny if she didn't really forget the trap. She just didn't consider it enough of a deterrent to not come back to lick the bamboo.
Its not like she has a problem. She could quit honey anytime she wants to. She just sees no reason to quit when she has access to ALL THE BEES OF GENSOKYO!
