Ok, and now for the lightmite. Bug typing gets changed to Ghost typing.
Compoundeyes is quintessentially Bug; how do you feel about any of Insomnia, Frisk, Frighten, or Minus to replace it? Unnerve seems appropriate enough.
Swarm converts nicely to Overcharge (the Last Chance Electric) or Haunt (Last Chance Ghost).

Capabilities!
Let's change Naturewalk to (Urban, Cave). Zapper is fine, Wallclimber is very Bug/unghosty, let's swap it out for what appear to be the standard Ghost capabilities. Darkvision, Dead Silent, and Phasing to replace it. Why not Glow as well?
Threaded is also very buggy but we'll keep it because of your presumed learnset.
Now for the learnlist. For argument's sake, why don't we say that Joltik retained the pre-mortem attacks up to Level 7?
Galvantula's only notable variation is learning Sticky Web at 65, what kind of hazard move would fit? Electric terrain? Electrify? Trick or Treat? Any one of those would fit the bill.
Now for TMs:
The only problematic ones are Struggle Bug and X-Scissor; Struggle Bug is costwise equivalentish to False Swipe? X-Scissor I'm pretty ok with because I say so.
Finally, tutor moves!
Bug Bite as aforementioned is Shadow Claw or Crunch, Sticky Web we could reach a compromise where you learn one "hazard" move via level up but can learn another one via tutoring. Anyway I think that's everything

joltik levelup learnlist Wrote:1 Leech Life - Bug
1 Spider Web - Bug - (lose this and String Shot though and you'll lose your Threaded Capability)
1 String Shot - Bug
4 Thunder Wave - Electric
7 Screech - Normal
12 Fury Cutter - Bug - Scratch, a vaguely equivalent 40BP move
15 Electroweb - Electric
18 Bug Bite - Bug - uuuuuh Shadow Claw? Crunch? It's one Damage Base lower but the best compromise I think.
23 Gastro Acid - Poison
26 Slash - Normal
29 Electro Ball - Electric
34 Signal Beam - Bug - Ominous Wind? Idk this one we could revise
37 Agility - Psychic
40 Sucker Punch - Dark
45 Discharge - Electric
48 Bug Buzz - Bug - it's a bit of a nerf in terms of raw power but Shadow Ball fits here I think.
