Insect Reproduction
Although the exact means of Insect reproduction is never made clear in the series, the Giga Shadow (the last surviving member of the Insect Civilisation) had many young attached to its body, despite having no mate. This could mean that Insects either reproduce asexually, are self-fertilised, or the Gigashadow was inseminated by artificial means.

Famous quotes containing the words insect and/or reproduction:
“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“An original is a creation
motivated by desire.
Any reproduction of an original
is motivated by necessity ...
It is marvelous that we are
the only species that creates
gratuitous forms.
To create is divine, to reproduce
is human.”
—Man Ray (1890–1976)
