Bestiolan

Bestiolans are a species of insects classified as "sentient" by the Humans who first encountered them. They have a large, bulging green and yellow eye on either side of their head, mandibles, long, hard-shelled, curving yellow bodies spotted with black, and carapaces that are damp to the touch. They are incapable of speech, communicating through scent and mandible movement.

They were named by Dr. Dante Canales, the head of the team who first discovered the Bestiolans and their planet, dubbed Calidus Arbor.
