Humanoid insect     A bipedal insectoid hologram (2364)      An
insectoid is a non-humanoid type of lifeform which shares
ancestry with insects. They sometimes share traits with
humanoids, such as being bipedal. An example of an insectoid
species was the Kaferians of the planet Kaferia. (TNG: "The Big
Goodbye")      300 million years ago, an ancient insectoid
species operated a pod ship in the vicinity of Questar M-17 and
was infiltrated by a magnetic organism. Once infested, the crew
opted to destroy their own ship, rather than spread the
malevolent creature to other planets. (TAS: "Beyond the Farthest
Star")      The Xindi-Insectoids were among the first sentient
insectoid species encountered, in 2153, and were often
colloquially referred to as "Insectoids." (ENT: "The Xindi")
By 2269, at least two species of insectoids had been
encountered. (TAS: "The Time Trap", "The Jihad"
