Why are the Zanscare Empire's Mobile Suits have bug eyes or modeled after insects? It is because the Empire is modeled as a matriarchy through propaganda and so the mobile suits that are modeled after insects serves the queen who is Queen Maria. Heck, the army that develops the mobile suits is named BESPA. (Once you change the B to V, it's VESPA which is Italian for wasp.)
It is also why the Shrike Team are named because they strike down insects.
