Lore for a book I'm making

We’ve known about global warming for years. Slowly, the insects are dying off. Entomologists panicked, realizing that insects and arachnids aren’t adapting to our world fast enough, the numbers are dropping at the highest speeds they’ve ever seen. So they do experiments. Soon they announce they’re working on their revolutionary anthropomorphic bugs, to save them. If they can’t live in their true form, maybe they can live as humans. So, after three years, they released the first prototype of their human bugs. They weren’t perfect, but the scientists sure were getting somewhere. Then, came the second prototype, then the third, then the fourth. One day, a scientist by the name of George Cadell experimented with Praying Mantis DNA and made Fern Briarwood. She was the only survivor in the egg sack, and she seemed like a normal, just smaller human baby. Though, she grew. Really fast. And soon, she was a normal sized baby with an extra set of arms and thin antennae. Then, two years later, he did the same with Luna moths. Only two survived but again, it was successful. Aylin and Aldrin had been born. George shared his findings, and soon it went public. More and more scientists made bug people, and built an insect society. The only problem; the government of the USA wouldn’t let the insects govern themselves, and they appointed politicians from their country to govern them. And though they have their own council now, the US government still has a bit of control over how they run things. They have to approve almost every law passed, every leader appointed to the Elder council.
