If you want to send me the rough details of what you think carrying
capacity
for your planet would be (based on what you've said probably about 100
billion), how commone "natural disatsers" are, how common disease is, if
they have any major wars (and if yes when... e.g. ones vs your bugs),
what
conditions etc are on the colonies and when each was founded I'll run it
through my population model for you. Its not as polished as it could be
(e.g. only follows total population and yearly time-steps), but it'll
give
you a pretty good idea of the projected population size based on current
theories and practice in population modelling.

Cheers
