Do any of you know of a Pathfinder/3.5 archetype or PrC that can control insect swarms?

The Summon Swarm and Insect Swarm spells let you summon them, but not control them.

Creeping Doom spell lets you summon and control swarms of centipedes.

The sorcerer Pestilence bloodline makes you immune to swarms, and if you stand in them you can control them.

Turn Undead lets you rebuke/command undead swarms.
Initiate of Nature lets you rebuke/command animal and plant swarms.
Spider? Domain lets you rebuke/command vermin swarms.
Vermin Keeper (Und) can use Handle Animal on vermin.
Vermin Lord (BoVD) can summon a vermin swarm that's under his control 1/day.

Pathfinder Druids can summon & control swarms, via Mad Monkeys, Rain of Frogs, & Cape of Wasps. They can also become a spider/rat/crab/wasp/leech/army ant swarm via Swarm Skin.

Blight Druids can use Vermin Empathy attempt to do so, and I've seen a variant on an Urban Druid that is basically a "vermin druid" that could do that.

Mad Monkeys is also a Wizard spell.

Hmm, if your DM allows you to homebrew some stuff, there's nothing stopping you from making a construct swarm using the construct building rules.

It's a LOT of touching, but you'd be able to animate undead swarms with Animate Dead. At least, I see nothing against it.

You could be a Warlock and become a swarm with Dark Discorperation ;)

or Arachnomancer and or Vermin Lord
