With Halo Legends its a bit difficult as Roe talks like a human and yet we know the Sangheili have no chin but four independent(?) mandibles while his wife is looks so incredibly different that at first glance i would not assume that the wife is actually a Sangheili.

The Yanme'e are more like insects of Earth e.g. Bee's and Ants. One Queen with hundreds of thousands of wingless workers and couple of thousand of winged soldiers that defend their hive and workers. Saying that the Queen would be identifiable due to her swollen adbomen that lays thousands of Yanme'e every day but the drones and soldier Yanme'e would look similar to the buggars we encounter in the Halo series.

I believe that the Unggoy females have a large set of mammary glands, which sets them apart from their male companions. However, thats based on the Grunt's large egg clutches and grunt society as a Matriarchy, females are dominant force in grunt society.

In both Sangheili and Jiralhanae, i would like to believe that the females are smaller and weaker than the males - leading to the male-dominanted societies. Sangheili reproductive organs would be similar to crocodiles and alligators while Jiralhanae would be more similar to us and gorillas.

Yeah..end rant.
