” Are you saying that any extraterrestrial life would definitely not be in humanoid form?”

Everything I can offer on this is just speculation, of course. I see no reason why humanoid form is needed. As long as there is some way to manipulate objects and a body which can deal with construction needs, the main issue is the brain.

Just using terrestrial species’ physical abilites, I would wonder if, given the right mental development, why some insects couldn’t begin to develop more advanced ways of manipulating things, as use of tools is a huge step down the road.

Insects from outer space!

I wouldn't want to be the one to welcome them. All the movies indicate that they would have bad motives in coming here.

I understand your point, I just couldn't resist the idea of insects from outer space.

However, whether reptilian or big and furry . . . the bipedal, two armed, one headed form seems to be the most common form by far of the what . . . 70+ “ET” “races” dinking around with our sphere.
