Changes: Insect

Revision as of 04:06, 10 April 2010

An insectoid opponent was part of Worf's calisthenics program

An insect is a type of lifeform. They have an exoskeleton, a body separated into three sections, and six legs. The study of insects is called entomology.

Some species of insects on Earth were known to hibernate. (ENT: "Hatchery")

When the Crystalline Entity devastated Melona IV in 2368, it left behind no traces of life – no vegetation, no insects, no bacteria. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar")

In 2369 Q remembered Vash about the insect bite on Erabus Prime which could have cost her life if Q was not there to save her. (DS9: "Q-Less")

In 2376, the Doctor gave a lecture on indigenous insects of the Delta Quadrant on the USS Voyager. The Doctor was less than amused when Ensign Farley started snoring. (VOY: "Memorial")

Rom chewing on a Ferengi beetle

In the image of Rom as he is about to chew on the Ferengi beetle, you can see that the producers used a giant water bug for the beetle. Also known as "toe-biters" in the US, these large predatory insects are sold and eaten in Thailand.

Background

The Borg were initially conceived of by Maurice Hurley as a race of insects, but were changed to the more budget-friendly cyborgs that went on to become so famous.
