I crossed a gremlin with a grasshopper using the Insectile template from Savage Species, and look what I got!

Greminars are insectoid versions of gremlins: tiny, winged humanoids, vaguely related to goblinoids. Greminars are imp-like and mischevous magical creatures, with several traits in common with grasshoppers.
Greminars have two legs and six arms, large antennae for hearing, large "ears" jutting out of the sides of their heads, narrow and wide multifaceted eyes like a grasshopper's, thick glossy beetle-like wings, and a mottled and bumpy olive-colored chitinous exoskeleton. Greminars are cowards and do not fight, but they love to cause trouble. Making people angry and humiliated makes a greminar happy. Their favorite trick is to set traps that cause their victims to damage their own prized possessions or hurt loved ones or maybe even themselves. They like to pick a particular building to infest and promptly set up tripwires and other traps throughout, and stay until everything of value is broken and the inhabitants have fled.
Greminars are believed to have originated on an unknown plane, probably by mutating and interbreeding monstrous insectoids with goblinoids. They have a highly organized social order, and stick to a strict system of social rank.
COMBAT
Greminars are practically worthless in combat, and flee rather than fight. They will bite, and attempt to fly away close to the ground, or over their opponents' heads.
Tremorsense (Ex): A greminar can automatically sense the location of anything within 60 feet that is in contact with the ground.
Wide Vision (Ex): Because its multiple, facted eyes provide a wide angle of vision, a greminar has a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks and cannot be flanked.
Skills: Greminars receive a +8 racial bonus to Listen checks, due to their sensitive antennae.
GREMINAR CHARACTERS
A greminar characters' preferred class is rogue. Some become druids or clerics, but most take advantage of their high Dexterity scores and climbing abilities by advancing as rogues.
A Greminar's ECL is +5
