Insect

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

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.

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 cot 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.

[edit] 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.
