Description Only Hybrids to do after this I think. anyway all the insect ponies, including changlings, breezies and spiderponies.

General:
The insect ponies are the oldest of the pony branch species, breaking off from the base population before discords rein. The trigger for the branch is unknown, and the change so long ago that no one is even sure which of the races branched of from what like with the seaponies.

all the insect ponies have exoskeletons instead of bones, though unlike true insects they have lungs and closed circulatory system. if one loses a leg it can be regrown in their next molt, they can only grow this way too. do to this growth pattern insect ponies do not have max sizes as the grow until they dies. size is the best way to tell age.

Breezies:
Size: around 2 hand high as adults and a hand high as Nymphs
Magic: flying and in nymphs crystal production and control, dark magic is more common in this race then another.
Live cycle: Nymphs live for 10 to 20 years and are sentient living in underground cities made of crystals, until it is time to breed in which all of a generation of nymphs molt in to adults losing all their sentience, with only a week to live the adults breed fast females laying thousands of eggs. getting this week there are so make breezes that the skies are fulled, most are eaten but the huge amount overruns the ecosystems ability to eat them. their is a different specie of breezies where the adults are sentient but they are very rare only one populate is known to exist.
Note: Nymphs are known to be very defeatist, most artwork forces on death and the lose of the mind. their not fun to talk to .
Diet: Nymphs eat dirt, fungus, rotting flash and moldy food stuffs, adults (unless of the rare sud-set) can't eat
 
Spiderponies:

Size: adults start at around 13 hand the eldest getting to 20hands. males tend to be smaller.
Magic: most of their magic it in there silk, they can enchanted it to be anything from fire-proof to super strong. the best protective chotheing like welding jackets is made be them. the spinrets in the back of there butt has the greatest in this magic.
live style: Spider ponies are nomadic traveling all across equestrian, with herds of sheep (spider ponies seem to be able to understand them unlike other races.) young males once the reach maturaty the tend to leave their native tribe to find a new one, many end up working in pony towns to better their skills before finding a new tribe.
Note: Spider ponies are sick dancers, and make tents out of silk, they also wear clothes for the most part
Diet: Spiderponies eat meat and plants, they honour their died be eating the body and burning the head this is thought to free the spirit of the pony, and be the last gift the pony gives to their people. they do this with the sheep that travel with them too.

Changlings:

Size: adults start at 14 hands tall, Queens are around 20 hands
Magic: the most magical of the insect ponies able to cast spells and change their form. well changlings produce very little of there own magic they can use any magic they eat (love or otherwise).
Live cycle: Changlings live it hives, those good at changing their form act as scouts, warriors and food gatherer. those that are not are good act as doctors, builders, and food stores. changlings do not have reproductive tracks (they can have fake one) the Queen gets genes though magic from their drones, usually the best of the best.
Diet: they eat magic though love it the preferred since it is the richest, a small amount can feed up to seven changlings. if feeding on raw magic they'd have to drain an earth pony a day to feed one changling, usually killing the pony. they can eat "normal" food but most find it gross, those that do tend to be heavier since normally if the changling needs to eat food things are bad and the changlings body tries to store anything to use.  

Changling Queens are thought to be the "Alicorn" of the insect races.

Thanks, The idea for my version of the Breezies started out as a joke believe it or not. Since I was talking about with a friend that it was the only way a species so weak could live on and it stuck in my head lol.

Lol, it's great getting ideas bouncing off from friends. It's a really interesting idea too, it's really cool that you extended to the spiders and changelings. Insects x ponies is my kind of wonderland!
