Hmm. Don't we have Gorakiki people here? Switch to Insect Head, with antennae for chemical scans and faceted eyes for all-round vision. Granted, aiming becomes more difficult viewed through a multitude of small eyes, but the smell...

BTW: In Norway there is one kind of Moscito called "StuKa" for the similarity to the German WW II dive bombers in their attack. They sting even before they sit down on their prey... This much for insect flight abilities.
