Well... hmm, I think the best way to describe what I would picture in an insect TF is threw story:
There's a female scientist who is trying to discover how cockroaches among many bugs can survive intense levels of radiation with out dying. Thinking she's discovered it, she injects herself with a vial. The experiment seems to work until she begins to exhibit side effects.
For much of the initial growths such as the extra pair of arms, the antenna, and the wings, her skin would just stretch out. They'd at first just be bits of flesh that have grown lose from her body until they finally begin forming the exoskeleton, in the case of the wings the skin getting hard and thin enough. For her skeleton converting from interior to exterior, the bone would slowly disapate into her bloodstream while being reconstructed on the outside. The rouch backside would be formed as her butt expanded outward and her reproductive organs slowly enlarged and shifted into it, that part not being shown but the scientist could explain such in her logs. Then finally, while maybe not shrinking down all the way do to so much mass, her new body slowly starts to shrink as it expells the remaining human pieces that weren't eaten by the process, leaving a giant cockroach that might have felt only a partial bit of discomfort.
That's my thought on it and I took the scientific approach. Magical be even simpler I think. ^^
