The human whose body is stolen by the alien is named Edgar (pronounced Eggar by his wife) and played by Vincent D'Onofrio
Does the movie ever mention the name of the giant bug alien that steals Edgar's body?
There's an alien in there somewhere named Jeff, but I can't remember if the bug's name is ever mentioned
Orthopterous Exomorphs. A bug, essentially.
Get your big butt back in the house.
The only thing that pulls its weight around here is my god, damn, truck! <kabooom>
The bug had millions of kids, do they even get names?
I believe Jeff was the giant worm that lived in the subway from MIB II.
Yeah movie makers were speciesist back then, I bet they thought those alien bugs all looked the same.
That is correct, Agent P.
How the fuck do they not run out of letters?
Was that your auntie? Aw hell yall all look the same
In the MIB cartoon, other bugs land looking for revenge on L, and he's still referred to as Edgar. He even has a brother named Edwin.
Did the octopus alien (the one whose baby J delivered) have a name?
"figures"
All we know is that the parents’ Earth identities were Mr. and Mrs. Redgick and that their race was known to the MIB as “Squids”.
I still maintain that Vincent D'Onofrio's performance in MiB is one of the best physical performances of any movie. Obviously the makeup was doing a lot to help with the transformation, but he genuinely looks and moves like a giant alien cockroach inside a human skin suit.
The man is a genius

Edgar the bug is the best you're going to get I think.
