Insect - like alien

Insectoid is a term that denotes a representative of an intelligent race that either looked like insects, or evolved from insects, or were insects themselves. Also robots of the same appearance.

They often live in hives, have many legs, mandibles and eyes, are creepy in appearance and are often hostile. 

Insectoids are a specific, very rare alien race. Often, but not always, they are a biological civilization with living ships.

Insectoids have incredible features that allow them to carry out space flights at high speeds. Aliens of this type can withstand very large accelerations (up to 40 g). Under gravitational overloads, they easily tolerate enormous stresses.
