Furthermore, the Oral Explanation of the Twelve Nidānas in the Āgama says: 'There are four kinds of birth: First, belly-born, which refers to humans and animals (this is womb-born). Second, born from the combination of cold and heat, which refers to insects, moths, fleas, and lice (this is moisture-born). Third, apparitionally born, which refers to gods and hell-dwellers. Fourth, egg-born, which refers to flying birds, fish, and turtles.'
