Trivia[]

  • Despite Molt being Hopper's younger brother, Richard Kind is actually three years older than Kevin Spacey (who voiced Hopper).
  • Molt is named after the process of insects shedding their old skin to make way for a new one.
  • Molt is not truly evil since he is more of a neutral character, as he doesn't involve himself in attacking Flik and his friends.
    • Despite not being truly evil, Molt is one of the bosses of Bug's Life.
