	I've noticed edits adding this information to alien pages. It's already in the UFO pages, and much better organised. Stuff like "Megaspawn are never dropped into buildings" is notable enough to mention in alien articles, as is the life cycle, but I think adding a full, unformatted list to every single alien page is just unneeded clutter.
