 * 1) You say these sections could imply the creatures are not unique. However, it very clearly states that "It is unknown whether the Caterpillar is part of a larger group of creatures or it is a unique creature." That is even closer to the truth and less speculative than assuming it is indeed the only one of its species.
 * 2) I think the second point is just... wrong. Biology can be studied with a single individual, when no other individual is available for analysis. Saying a biological analysis of a creature is impossible unless you have multiple specimens is just plainly incorrect. You can an immense amount of conclusions from a single specimen about its biology, and listing them does not in any way imply that if there were other members of the same species they would share the same biological characteristics.
 * 3) As Nightlily suggested in her thread (to which people unanimously agreed): "I suggest that we expand the format of our creatures/species articles, and add a new section for biology and lifestyle/culture. I'm not a fan of the way that the trivia section in these article has become a place where where we basically dump everything that does not fit into the intro, infobox and history section. Trivia is supposed to be about the more obscure details, and some of the information listed in the trivia section for creatures is anything but obscure. Some of it is even major plot points, which trivia was never meant to include, but it is listed under trivia simply because there is nowhere else to put it."
 * 4) The fourth point... I really don't see what connection you're trying to do between the Caterpillar and Regina. The Caterpillar is a fictional creature with fictional biological characteristics that are at least partially unique to Once Upon a Time. You are saying that, even if you want the section gone, the information is still important and should be kept, so you at least agree that the biological characteristics of the Caterpillar are relevant to the article. However, I don't think you see Regina's biological characteristics under the same light. You wouldn't say Regina has two legs and two arms anywhere in her article.
