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:
“The insect certain is the plague of fables.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Although Samuel had a depraved imagination—perhaps even because of this—love, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: “Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.””
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
