The bugs looked like the Prodigy beings because of Mr. Breakspear's VFX department, not PDL.

Wow... I've never been refered to as Mr Breakspear... makes me sound really serious! I'll let you in on a secret...
The bugs are real. Seriously. They live in a jam jar on the MGM lot in Vancouver. The reason they look like the prodigy bugs is quite simple. The contract the prodigy bugs signed with the producers means that whenever we do a show with "glowy yellow bugs things" that we have to use Edna, Kevin and Syd (oh... that's their real names by the way). They control the glowy bug market and there's nothing we can do about it.
We wanted to use the gargantuan pink fluffs, a race of multi-eyed scaled beings from the outskirts of the Pegasus Galaxy that we found on a scene scout last year. They wanted too much money and each bug wanted their own trailer. It just wasn't worth the legal battle in the end and so we opted to use Edna, Kev and Syd. Oh... an interesting note: There are only three bugs and we had to shoot motion control to duplicate them into hundreds.
Alas... all the vfx department had to do in The Defiant One was feed the bugs. The eat a lot on donuts and their favorite color is yellow.
