A second bug ass drawing has hit the dashboard...

Her metasoma has a sort of raised petiole structure comprised of muscles you would find at the base of an animal's tail; sacrocaudalis, coccygeus, levator ani, rectococcygeus, et cetera.

It is fairly flat, sort of cockroach-esque. Doesn't hold any reproductive structures beyond a shallow bursa copulatrix and such.

Without the metasoma—

Would probably revise the shape if I cared.#I'm not sure how good range of movement is if your thigh is confined by a shell-like structure that reaches your hip.#Hive do have very weird sort of dislocated-looking legs in terms of anatomical positioning—#—so I suppose this wouldn't even be a qualm if I drew them more in line with how they appear in-game.
