why do only females get wings?
ok im not very educated on this ♥♥♥♥ but with a Bugs Life, Ants and The Dark Crystal
and btw, a bugs life is far better then Antz
that move is stupid. so one ant wants to ♥♥♥♥ the system, gets too excited to see the princess, but no interest in her, stolen valor by putting himself in just to see her but ends up kid napping her and dooming his race. WTF

a bugs life also has a main that just wants to make things easier but gets rejected
the females in this one have wings
yet ants Antz dont. i guess it could be the breed/species of ant? like they greatly outnumber us.... :/

and same for the dark crystal
"DURH, ONLY FEMALES GETS ZE WINGS"

how the ♥♥♥♥ is that fair? pretty sexist right?

Actually, Flik should have been female in A Bug’s Life, because all worker ants are female. Male ants are drones who mate with the queen ant.

It’s female exclusive
I don't know about Dark Crystal since I've not seen it for years

As for bugs and ants (it;s not 100% true that only females have wings), those that do, they are either queen ants (or potential queens), or male drones. Potential Queens can fly so that they can establish a new colony. This is when they may atttact flying male drones for mating purposes only. After mating, there is no further benefit to a male drone and they die out very quickly.

The remaining worker ants in a colony are all technically female (and sterile) so strictly speaking the main character in both A Bug's Life and Antz in theory should also be female too.

It's how nature is.

Since by volume of population on the planet, insects by far outnumber humans, and most insect species have dimorphism such as this, this IS actually more normal than not... why is this a surprise? Did you just not take any science and biology in school?
Males look funny in undewear with wings.

When an ant queen generates a new queen it gets wings and fly away to make sure it won't be eaten up by the rival ant colony. The ant queen has lost the ability to fly once it start to produce offsprings. In some cases the queen can be killed by another queen. It's in their predator nature. Bugs can change their physiology. It's no different from humans reaching puperty, except bugs can do this on demand. Bees in beehives can reach early puperty if there's not enough adult bees in the hive. Even if you killed one princess there are plenty of princesses in an ant colony. Males can't produce offsprings for the same reason why females can't inject seed. Females mutation happen after birth while males mutation is happening earlier. The males likely don't have wings since their task isn't to leave the colony and protect it from invaders. An ant colony strength is the unity of many individuals, if everyone could fly there wouldn't be anyone staying at home and the princesses likes attendence as well having servants.

No idea what you're even talking about. In some games, you can give wings to a guy too:

and they should not be able to talk because they are insects?!
IRL, ants are a flightless wasp where the fertile males and females have wings, they fall off once they breed.
