Flying Ants are purple female queen or princess ant characters in the film A Bug's Life. The Queen, Queen Atta and Princess Dot are the three flying ants.
Queen Atta[]
In the film, Atta was seen flying in the majority of the film. She flew over the ants and ensured them to get to the anthill as soon as the grasshoppers arrived and terrorized the colony. When standing up to Hopper, she flew up into his face. Atta then proceeded to fly after Hopper and grab Flik away from him. She was able to hold Flik into her arms while flying for 22 seconds, before being absorbed into a raindrop.
Along with Flik and her younger sister, she flew up to the tree root to watch the circus bugs leave.
Princess Dot[]
In the middle of the film, Dot began to fly as she tried to get away from Thumper. But eventually, she got pushed by him and fell off a cliff. Before she can know it, Dot felt her wings flapping and beating as it made her lift up in the air. As she was about to fly, she did a flip which made her go down but then came back up. In her ready flying position, Dot sat in the air for 3 seconds and then she reversed, pumped her wings and flew off to Flik and the circus bugs. When Dot begged Flik to come back, she flew to get a rock for him and flew back to Flik and the circus bugs. After that, Flik thanked her and together they both hugged.
Along with Flik and her older sister, she flew up to the tree root to watch the circus bugs leave.
