Trivia
- They are based on the Circus Bugs from A Bug's Life, another Pixar film.
- Even though there are nine insects making up P.T. Flea's circus in A Bug's Life, only six of the nine appear in the Cars version; Manny the Praying Mantis, his wife Gypsy the Moth, and Rosie the Black Widow Spider are presumably the only three members left out of the Cars version and therefore don't appear as vehicles.
