* Averted in ''VideoGame/BugFables,'' which uses realistic sexual division--nearly all of the bees and ants you meet are female, as are most of the mosquitos you meet. There's also buff female stag beetles and several male ladybugs. It also internally subverts this with Crisbee, one of the only confirmed male bees you meet--because he's a carpeter bee, which isn't a eusocial species.
