Corrected entry: This may seem like nitpicking, but the drunk mosquito that Flik approaches which drinks a round of blood is a male, when, in reality, only female mosquitos suck blood. Males actually consume flower nectar, like many other insects.

Correction: Really? Just because it looks like a male doesn't mean it's a male. Frances the Ladybug looks like a female, but he's male.

Correction: There's a difference between sucking blood and drinking blood like it's alcohol for a gag. In reality, bugs don't hang out in bars and perform in circuses for other bugs to watch. In real life, the male mosquito's proboscis isn't strong enough to pierce skin, but here, there is no skin to pierce, so the male can easily drink the blood.

Correction: Well the mosquito has to be a male because right after he finishes drinking the blood Flik asks the mosquito if it is all right, and he calls the mosquito "sir."

Corrected entry: How did Dot know where to find Flik and the circus bugs after they left the island? She didn't know where they were going, and never had set foot off Ant Island before.

Correction: We don't know how long Dot was looking, and since she was able to fly, she would be able to canvas the area a lot quicker and easier. We also see that the circus bugs vehicle was extremely slow, so there wasn't a large area for Dot to search.

Correction: Furthermore, she could have followed tracks and scent starting where she last saw Flik and the Caravan.

Factual error: The size of the shadow of an object depends upon its distance from the light source, not the surface it falls upon. Lifting the cutout of the bird a few inches closer to the sun as they do would make absolutely no difference to the size of its shadow, yet it quadruples in size.

Trivia: When Molt sheds his entire skin from being scared of the ants, the skin is the model that they use before they add the color.
