Notes

• In the anime, two copies of this card are shown. The first copy originally belonged to Weevil Underwood, but ended up with Joey Wheeler. Weevil obtained the second copy thanks to Dartz.

Naming

• In the anime's Spanish dub, this card is known as "Reina Insecto".

Censoring

Insect Queen's recolored breasts

• The dub recolored this monster's breasts to red to make her less sexually suggestive.

• In the international anime, this monster's mouth is obscured whenever it eats another monster as part of its requirement to attack. In episode 161 of the DM anime, the scene where this monster savagely eats "Leghul" as part of its requirement is cut from the dub.

Mistakes

• When Weevil first uses this card, it's shown as a Normal Monster.
  • This is similar to a few of Weevil's Insect monsters in this duel that were shown as Normal Monsters, when they are really Effect Monsters.
