You may present the species name however you like because it seems to make no difference to anybody but grammatically no, mudokon gabbit scrab and so on are species - nouns - they only need capitalizing if you're German or something, they are not cultures.
(I wasn't trying to offend Germans, they capitalize their nouns)

That's a good point, indeed it makes no grammatical difference whether you put a capital letter or not. However, I just do it for Interns, Outlaws etc so as not to confuse them with their occupational counterparts. And I do it with the other species, Mudokons, Gabbits etc for consitency. And seeing as they are sapient ('thinking') species, it also shows a little more respect.
For example, my fan character Calvin Castro is an Intern, but not an intern.
