I am finding that somewhat debatable. Nids are so laughably high in number that they are visible from a stellar-level. The only things that the Imperium are aware of that are outside the galaxy is pissed off orkz, and nids. LOTS of nids. Sufficient amounts of nids that a low-ball estimate...

They leave rocks behind because there's nothing left to use. Nids gain entire decades of production in three months. However much of it is lost as they travel.

Nids can eat a planet so fast that it physically shrinks in about 3 months, that doesn't sound too impressive but that's a stupid amount of mass transfer really really fast. They don't need to use captured planets because they basically drain the industrial output of a planet straight out of it...
