Spawning through egglayer for Mantodean insectoid race

This mod adds an queen/egglayer for Mantodean race and changed versions of 3 infestation insects as mantodean animals. To make mantodean hive like erthly ants hives.
Both mantodean eggs an animal eggs are created from eggs, laid by mantodean queen.
Requires The Mantodean Race to be loaded before this mod.

Those eggs hatches as colony animal (no need to tame).
0) Queeen. Queen's egg is created at mantodean Jelly maker at cost of 200 insect jelly. Eats a lot, has a restrictive diet, grows into adult in a week and then lays eggs of (1)mantscarab. Eggs are fertilized by default.
1) Mantscarab. Weaker strike compared to megascarab, not so wild, can be taught to haul. Same diet as Mantodeans. Represents lower worker caste.

All further caste's eggs are created at Jellymaker at a cost of 1 mantscarab egg and some insect jelly. (As much as earth ants hatch depend on diet in egg and larva stage)
2) Herb eater. Cost 1 egg and 50 jelly. The only herbivore in mantodean castes. Represents ant's farming aphids. Gives 30 jelly per day, but is slow, weak, untrainable, and eats a lot of grass.
3) Sentient mantodean pawns. Cost 1 egg and 100 jelly. A week for egg to hatch.
4) Warblocker. Cost 1 egg and 100 jelly. Slightly weaker dps compared to megaspider, but much harder armor. Mantodean diet.

Spawner has a wealth of 500, so they might have an impact on colony welth.

Has 2 "hasted" recipes, resulting in immediate hatching for an emergency cases. Not viable to regular production due to cost.
5) Hastened mantodean hatch. Recipe cost 1 egg and 1000 jelly. Results in hatch of sentient Mantodean.
6) Hastened warblocker hatch. Recipe cost 1 egg and 300 jelly.

Should now have 2 items for hastened research (or to have a form of reserch with "research forbidden" precept):
1) Research gain jelly - made by one of 3 recipes - 2 hearts, or 4 natural bodyparts, or 2 corpses., gives some steady research after ingestion for a time. Without actually working at research table.
2) Research burn jelly - gives even more research from pawn, for 3 days. But constantlly withers (causes frostburn) to random body parts. Most races don't survive this. But isn't gaining knowledge quickly worth life of a prisoner, or spare colonist?

Manto advance gel - replaces mant blocker(mantmegaspider) with a mantodean. REplaces other beings with mnt milker(mantspelopede). Kills beings, smaller then 0.5. Theoretically, can cause glitches, use at you own risk.
