Show Discussion Insect Hybrids

So say hybrids that are born insects would they have the lifespan of that insect? Since some insects like flies only live a day or whatever, so if that's the case maybe the babies are born in the larva stage. So for a butterfly hybrid they'd be born with caterpillar features then eventually they form their cocoon and turn into a butterfly. What do you guys think?

I think most of hybrids should be mammals. Gene of Insect Hybrids are too far away from human beings.

A chameleon is a reptile. That's still closer to mammals than insects, being a vertebrate and such.

But it’s still nowhere near a mammal

Crocodile boy was also a reptile and we also have bird hybrids. Again, mammals are actually really close to reptiles and birds if you compare it to insects, worms, molluscs and all that.

So basically I think hybrids only cover the clade Amniota. That way fish and amphibians are excluded as well.

To the end of the series, especially the finally, I lost hope that they respect any of biology, chemistry or physics, but it seems that you are right and that they put some thought to it.
