PROVIDENCE, R.I. — After 32 years of surveying Interstate 95 from his perch atop a pest control business, Rhode Island's big blue bug is getting a promotion — and a makeover to go with it.

The towering termite named Nibbles Woodaway now sports a necktie, a sartorial step up befitting his new stature as corporate namesake. New England Pest Control owner Stephan Goldman said Monday he's changing his company's name to Big Blue Bug Solutions to honor the blue behemoth that long ago achieved iconic status in Rhode Island.
