I agree bugs (don't correct me) should be crushed. If they are to big to step on, get a couple hundred tons of rock to do the job for you. Deilatha's idea might work to.
Here is a few Greek gods and goddeses that come to mind:
Hebe-goddes of youth, one of the daughters of Zeus and Hera, third wife of Heracules
Nemesis-goddes of revenge
Nike-goddes of victory, she is the small angelic figure Athena is holding at the Parthenon
Pan-god of the wild, the word...

Physical Elements:
Air-Aeromancer
Water-Hydromancer
Fire-Pryomancer
Earth-Geomancer
Nature-Ecomancer
Darkness-Tenebromancer
Energy-Aelectromancer
Ice-Cryomancer
Light-Photomancer
Astral Elements:
Space-Astromancer
Time-Chronomancer...

You could try adding two other elements like light and darkness, which could be used like shades, affecting your other elements. That way you would have the original four elements and could expand on them like having them tempered to either light or dark. Or if you wanted to redistribute the...
A book with dwarves that have wings and gills. I would love to read that. But it is true, fantasy creatures like dwarves and elves have come to have a certain stereotype, but that is just because a lot of people write them like that. You can take them and change them however you see fit. Just...
One quick thought, it is never said if they are actually human. If they are not human the matriarchal society could be more easily explained like drow society in R. A. Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy. The drow females are naturally large, stronger, and (supposedly) smarter than the males. You could...
There is almost no way to tell. It would mostly depend on the choices the inhabitants of the world make, it could end up anywhere from a inhabitable waste land to a thriving metropolis of advanced beings. Half a million years is a strange number, the planet would probably not have changed much...
