Description
At first I thought I was gonna have this glowy bagworm-type grub descending from the ceiling, which is why the gaster (abdomen) of this queen is protruded so forward, the original idea was to have it coil back..but then when I looked at it I had this idea to turn it into some fat, immobile termite queen-like insect that was mostly unmoving in this hollowed out cave, laying these little jewel-like eggs.

The gaster would have this array of nasty looking mandibles and parts, to serve as supports for the weight of the abdomen and anchoring it down while also acting as limbs to help deploy eggs and if need be defend the queen and her brood. In theory at least, she looks a bit too plump to be able to move very freely, although maybe the mandible parts could lash out like whips or tendrils. That'd be fun
