Shiverpedes belonged to a group of insect-like creatures.
Insectoid was a descriptor applied to species that possessed characteristics similar to those of insects. The Culisetto represented a sentient insectoid species, while the Geonosians were considered to be semi-insectoid. The Sugi were yet another sentient group, but they were mistakenly identified as insectoid because they wore power suits equipped with insectoid legs. The Colicoid species also fell under the insectoid category.
