I can find any right means about bug-like in Spanish.This is the whole sentence:
Draw your own bug-like character or create one using found items in your home.

Somebody would you like to help me?
Thanks
Silvia

Gustavo has given you a couple of good translations, but I'll just try to explain the English so you can understand it better.

This looks like an assignment given to a school child. It is telling the child to draw a character (a being that may or may not have some human features) that resembles a bug, or to make one out of real articles (such as a coat hanger and cotton balls). The character may resemble an actual bug (ant, bee, etc.), or may be a creation of the child.

It's hard to translate "-like" into Spanish, but it is very common in English, and converts a noun into an adjective that means "similar to [the noun]."

Hi Silvia, welcome to the forum.

What might a bug like character be'? I have no idea. I am sure you will get an adequate answer very soon..

Interesting question.

(I have moved your thread to the correct place: Vocabulary questions on the "vocabulary" part.)
