This is why I have no trouble believing that the oldest intelligent alien life forms are insectoid.

Quite correct. The laws of physics constrain the variants in evolution on all worlds. The conditions on different world allow which kind of species comes to dominate even at the end of natural evolution. Thus automorphs of all earth's evolution products exist across the galaxy. One of the most successful species on earth was dinosaurs, but a chance event changed the conditions and enabled an altogether different species to evolve when what would have developed on earth was intelligent reptiles.

It should be noted that the ants have gone on physically evolving but the variations in their offspring haven't changed. The rate of evolution is too slow. The intelligence has already been decided here. The result is the intelligent species creates an environment that destroys the circumstances that would over the eons enable the ants to possible evolve intelligence. This rule governs the worlds in the galaxy. The first specie to evolve intelligence is the last. There is one exception though, the intelligent species may destroy itself through its intelligence, but this has only something like a 3% probability.

So avian flu comes to mind; When a bug comes to town, you watch the morgue.

Ever pull the wing off a fly? Care to see the fly get even?
