If you mean a God of insects . . . definitely not.

The scarab beetle (xprr in hieroglyphs) was considered a sacred creature because when it rolled a small ball of dung to a secluded spot in order to lay its eggs, it was thought to resemble an invisible creature rolling the Sun through the heavens each day.

The scarab itself was not a god, but there was a god named Khepri (hieroglyphs xprr + a special determinative sign) who was shown with the head of a scarab beetle. He was considered to be a manifestation of Ra and later the god of transformations; he was never considered a god of insects.
