Insect

Insects (also called bugs)^[1] were a class of arthropods^[2] exemplified by the can-cell,^[3] Thunian wart-hornet,^[1] rot-wing,^[4] and Vashkan apidactyl species.^[5] They were characterized by a segmented body^[6] with six limbs.^[7] Other possible characteristics included wings, compound eyes, and probosces. At least some insects fed off the watery fluid circulating through plants.^[8]

In certain species, bites or stings could occur when an insect became agitated and sought to defend itself through natural defense mechanisms.^[8] In some case, said bites or stingings were mere annoyances,^[1] but in others, they could be lethal.^[5]

Species with features reminiscent of insects were referred to as "insectoid",^[9] "insect-like,"^[10] or "insectile".^[11] Such species included the Geonosians,^[9] the Culisetto,^[12] the Melitto,^[11] the lyleks, and the gutkurrs.^[13]
