The Wraith hive society and their darts put me very much in mind of hornets. Hornets, as we know make their technologies - paper hives that can house thousands of their kind is advanced tech, AFAIC. Spiders grow their own webs - which have a far greater tensile strength than steel cable of similar weights. Bees make honeycomb structures as well as various types of honeys.
However, wondrous as insect constructs are, they never vary from the norm. This is where the addition of human flexibility and imagination come in.
It may also explain why the wraith have "teeth." They may actually, like hornets and bees, chew raw materials and excrete them through the mouth, thus building ships and stuff. Could you imagine a species that could do such a thing? <shudders incontrollably>
