Not at all.
I am talikng about nids ass a species, not a society.
I know all about their history
But i`m not very sure about their anatomy.
They really don`t look like bugs. And i`m saying this because everybody i`ve seen describing them said they`re bags *(followed by a starship troopers redirect).
But they are nothing like the starshipt troopers bugs... now those bugs,, were full fletched bugs, the looked like bugs, moved like bugs, died like bugs
From my point of view, nids are closer to "the thing" - a new and improved organism, rather than a bigger & improved version of a known organism.
