History[]
Kamen Rider Kabuto[]
At first, this Worm appeared as a part of Worm (Chrysalis), after fighting with Kamen Rider Kabuto, it molted into the imago form Musca Worm. Although both used the Clock Up ability, Kamen Rider Kabuto could not catch up with Musca Worm's flying speed and let it run away.
Musca Worm then killed a woman on the cruise ship, and then mimicked the woman's form, attended a gokon meeting, and took the opportunity to approach Daisuke Kazama. Unexpectedly, the body of the woman hidden above the ship was discovered by Gon, and she later recognized that the color of the pants worn by the woman was different with the mimicked woman's pants. This leads Tendo and Kagami begins to suspects on mimicked woman. During the makeup, Daisuke said the makeup doesn't stick well, while Tendo pointed out because she's not human. After that, Musca Worm returned to its original appearance and prepared to attack Daisuke, Tendo and Kagami who were present. Unexpectedly, the other three women were all mimicked appearance of a group of Chrysalis. Avoided attack by the Kamen Riders, Musca Worm found an opportunity to successfully escape again.
As Tendo and Kagami continue on tracking down Musca Worm, they met a young woman on the road who pointed them in another direction. However, the young woman was actually the person that Musca Worm had just mimicked, and the body of the original person was discovered amid the screams of civilian passers-by. When Tendo and Kagami see the body, Musca Worm had already disappeared. It later encountered Yukari in a parking lot, after praises her beautiful look, Musca Worm killed and mimicked her form in order to approach Daisuke again.
While traveling in a limousine, mimicked Yukari spots Daisuke walking with Gon and Daisuke calls out to her. As Tendo and Daisuke are competing to see who is the most popular with women, mimicked Yukari and Daisuke come to the park together. There are also female junior college students there who are enthralled by Daisuke's makeup, but when they see Tendo arrives alone, they are all drawn to him. Although Daisuke praises the mimicked Yukari, but due to Musca Worm does not have the smell of perfume that Daisuke uses to finish off the look, so Tendo recognize "Yukari" is Worm. Musca Worm then reveals the true identity.
Musca Worm then tried to trick Drake with Yukari's voice to let him down so that it could attack Drake, but Kabuto didn't give any chances to the Worm, he immediately used the Clock Up ability and Rider Kick to completely destroyed the Musca Worm.

Personality[]
Like most Worms, Musca Worm shows a sadistic disregard for human life, viewing then only as tools in their mission. It appears to take pleasure from targeting beautiful look womans, and taunting its victims by mimicking them before killing them.
Musca Worm also inherits the memories and personality of the female Gokon member or Yukari as it mimicked, so it is very good at speaking through their tone. It used the appearance and way of speaking of these women to confuse Daisuke for a short time, making him reluctant to attack him because he regarded women as very important. However, for Soji Tendo, even if Worm has human memories, their nature are still Worm, so Musca Worm's tricks did not work on him.
