The Insect Queen is a character in the upcoming Pixar film, Hoppers. She is Titus' mother.
Background
"Insect Queen is the most respected and feared member of the all-seeing and all-powerful Council. She rules over her subjects and her spoiled, bloodthirsty son with a tiny iron fist, and the grandeur of a human royal. Her subjects are the most numerous on Earth, and the fact that they are constantly getting eaten by literally everyone else has shaped her bitter, hard-won wisdom and given her no illusions about the nature of power."
—Hoppers Press Kit
Personality
The Insect Queen is the most respected and feared member of the Animal Council, who rules over her subjects with an iron fist as well as the grandeur of a human royal. She is also shown to be fearful of humans taking their natural habitats, leading her to incite an attack to take revenge on them, along with the other animals in the forest, much to Mabel's worry about this.
Physical appearance
The Insect Queen, hence her name, is a diminutive-sized monarch butterfly with a pair of wings sticking out from both sides of her thorax. She is shown to have orange and black veins on her wings outlined with white spots and a pair of two eyespots mimicking a feline's eyes. Like all real-life lepidopterans, she has six limbs sticking from both sides - four which she uses as hands and two which she uses as feet. Hence her queenly title, she wears a crown on the top of her black spherical head with two antennae sticking out from it in addition to having a pair of white eyes and two pupils on them as well as white sharp teeth.
Trivia
- Real-life butterflies lack teeth, unlike the Insect Queen seen in Hoppers.
