I wonder if they designed the bugs *a bit* with NURBS modeling in mind. I once modelled and rigged that bug in XSI as kind of a training session when I switched from SI3D to XSI. Except for the lower part of the torso maybe, there are no parts with singularities or other patch modeling difficulties. Pretty much all parts are rigid with easy UV topology. Ball joints and no enveloping for the most parts if not all. Maybe it were just simple parent child hirarchies when they rigged it.
I don't know it of course, but I would guess it was relatively fast to animate in terms of performance.
