One may not catch animals or bugs on Shabbat - hunting is one of the 39 forbidden categories of forbidden work.
One may not kill creatures on Shabbat - killing is another one of the 29 forbidden categories of forbidden work.
If an insect lands on one's body for the purpose of biting, it's permissible to remove it, taking care not to kill it.
