What about the harvesters? I find it interesting that, of the species the Reapers have re-purposed (Protheans, batarians, humans, turians, rachni, asari, krogan, and harvesters), harvesters are the only one that aren't among the galaxy's sapient species. We don't see varren husks (though they would make a potentially formidable opponent) or pyjak husks or space cow husks or kilixen husks. This makes me wonder if the harvesters are smarter than we think or at least have the potential to reach a higher level.
