Insect-like creatures have been a part of the tradition of science fiction and fantasy. In the 1902 film A Trip to the Moon, Georges Méliès portrayed the Selenites of the moon as insectoid.[3] Olaf Stapledon incorporates insectoids in his 1937 Star Maker novel.[4] In the pulp fiction novels, insectoid creatures were frequently used as the antagonists threatening the damsel in distress.[5] Later depictions of the hostile insect aliens include the antagonists in Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers novel[6] and the "buggers" in Orson Scott Card's Ender novels.[7]
