@EntomologicalCat Thanks so much for creating this game!
You seems to be an insect lover

My nickname is "entomologist" at work because I hunt bugs for my coworkers.
I'm not afraid of insects and bugs, while everyone else fears them.

Queen Bee - Does it count as a separate entry here?

Queens are fed only royal jelly, a protein-rich secretion from glands on the heads of young workers

It's not a species of its own, so maybe no.

Owing to their wood-eating habits, many termite species can do significant damage to unprotected buildings and other wooden structures.

Here's an insect pokemon:
Vespiquen

Commands its subjects to build its hive. It will dispatch any interlopers who dare sneak into its nest and use them as nourishment for itself.
