As far  as animagi go, doesn't it seem that you choose what form you 
take?  I  mean, how convenient was it for Rita Skeeter to turn into a 
bug?  I  don't know, I've never heard one way or another on that - 
just thought it  would be way too easy for her if she just so 
happened to turn into the  smallest thing possible to detect while 
stealing her stories.  What  about that?

Hi Bethany, welcome to HPforGU!  I do agree with you that 
Rita was lucky that her animagus form was so small, but I'm
sorry to say that according to JKR, it has nothing to do with 
choice

Does the animal one turns into as an Animagi reflect your  
personality?  
Very well deduced, Narri! I personally would like to think that  
I would transform into an otter, which is my favorite animal.  
Imagine how horrible it would be if I turned out to be a cockroach!

So perhaps Rita's being a bug simply symbolizes the fact that she's a  pest!
