He said that he allowed an iratus bug to gorge on a human and he said that it passed on human DNA to its offspring if it laid eggs shortly after feeding. AFTER he allowed the iratus bug to do this he manipulated the hybrid embyro's genetic material to "accelerate" the natural process.
As I have said to you in a previous post, you're conflating the last two lines that I quoted with the first two. The first two explain how iratus bugs are able to naturally pass genetic material to their offspring. The second two deal with how he manipulated this process to produce humanoid beasties faster and with carefully selected traits.
What happens when a population cannot defend itself?
It dies.
How does a bug get more human DNA if they have killed all the humans?

Predators regularly kill their prey in order to survive, but if they are too good at it and, in the process, kill off their entire food supply they would die off. The very existence of iratus bugs demonstrates that their non-human sources of food are able to to maintain sustainable populations and are not driven into extinction by X number of them being fed on and killed each year, so what makes you think humans, with their high problem solving and tool use capabilities would be over hunted by the iratus bugs?
I did not say "big number", I said overblow. If he can do it, he says a second, if he can't, he says it's impossible.
