Episode 224 : Buggin ' Story Detail . Welcome and Ojo ' s Discovery . Ojo walks up , wearing a hat and holding a magnifying glass , and stands in front of the front door to the Big Blue House , giggling and asking " Where ' s that bug ? " She walks away , in pursuit of the bug and Bear opens the door . He sniffs around and then greets us , saying that it ' s so good to see us . He invites us inside . He sniffs around some more and asks " What ' s that smell ? " " It ' s you ! " he realizes . He takes a deep inhale and asks if we were just under a blanket because we smell all warm and toasty . " Or maybe you smell this good all the time . Heh heh . " Ojo then approaches him , shouting his name . " Come see ! " she says , hopping up and down , and Bear says that she looks excited . She agrees that she is . She says that there ' s something crawling around out by the Otter Pond with lots of legs . " Calm down , " says Bear , " I can ' t understand what you ' re saying . " " A bug , Bear , a bug ! " she shouts . " A bug ? " says Bear in wonder . Ojo tells him that she ' s never seen one like it before . " Come on ! " He agrees and tells her that she ' s coming . He follows her , but not before stopping to ask that we come too . A Really Interesting Bug . Bear arrives at the pond and asks her where this amazing bug is . She says she was on a log and looking at a leaf when all of a sudden the bug that she saw ran right over her foot . " Did it hurt ? " asks Bear , jokingly . " No , no , no , no , no , silly , " says Ojo with a giggle . " It tickled . " He asks her which way it went and she says she thinks it went under the log . Bear says that they should take a look , so they do , and Ojo quickly spots the bug . Bear agrees that it ' s a really interesting bug . He offers us his magnifying glass so that we can look at it too . The bug is shown through the magnifying glass . It ' s some sort of beetle . " She sure is different looking ! " observes Ojo . Bear removes the magnifying glass and urges Ojo to be careful , noting that it ' s a good idea to be careful around a bug you ' ve never seen before . " Uh huh , " agrees Ojo and points out the bugs many legs and the horned appendages coming out of its face , which Bear says are for grabbing food . " That ' s a good idea to have your hands right there in your mouth , " observes Ojo . " You lose less food that way , " agrees Bear . Ojo says that the bug is pretty weird looking and wonders what people look like to the bug . " I bet they ' re pretty big , " she says and the camera zooms in wide on Ojo and Bear to show what they might look like to a bug . The image then turns upside - down as Ojo notes excitedly that the bug is now walking upside - down . Back in the normal shot , Ojo says that bugs do the coolest things . Be a Bug . The bug leaves and Ojo says that bugs are great . " Yeah , bugs , " agrees Bear . Green letters B - U - G - S with six legs and antenna crawl onto the screen , making up the word " Bugs . " Ojo talks about the many great things about bugs , such as the fact that they make places to live in . For example , some make nests in the ground , like ants . An image of ant colony is shown and a snippet of " The Bugs Go Marching " is played . " And some bugs fly around , looking for food , " say Bear and several flying insects are shown flying across the screen . " Ooh ! " exclaims Ojo . " ' Sometimes they even fly into your house ! " Bear says that if they do , you should let them out , because bugs belong outside . " And there are so many different kinds of bugs . Why , there are houseflies , dragonflies , crickets , ladybugs , praying mantises , mosquitoes , junebugs , dunebugs , Japanese beetles . " The screen is covered with all of those bugs . " Phew ! " say both Bear and Ojo and the bugs are cleared away . " That ' s a lot of bugs , Bear , " muses Ojo and she asks how many bugs there are . Bear tells her that there are more bugs on the Earth than all the other animals put together . She says she wonders what it would be like to be a bug . Bear thinks it would be great and Ojo thinks it would also be weird . " I wanna be a bug ! " she exclaims and a song begins , " Be a Bug . " In the song , Bear and Ojo sing about different kinds of bugs that they could be and what they would do if they were those bugs . They even suggest that the viewers could be bugs . The song ends and Ojo says that she wonders where her bug went . She says that she ' s going to go find her and leaves . Bear bids her goodbye and asks " What is your favorite bug ? " Real kids are shown talking about their favorite bugs , which include butterflies , ladybugs and grasshoppers , but even mosquitoes , centipedes and spiders . Bugged by Bugs . " You sure do know a lot about bugs , " notes Bear , as he heads back inside the Big Blue House . A bit of " Old McDonald Had a Farm " plays . Tutter is on top of the kitchen table in front of a tiny wheelbarrow containing tomatoes , wearing a farmer ' s hat and he calls for Bear ' s attention . Bear asks what he ' s up to and Tutter explains that he was going to have a snack . He asks if Bear would like to join him and Bear asks what ' s on the menu . He says that he has fresh tomoatoes from his garden . Bear sniffs them and compliments that they " smell so good . " Tutter asks him what he ' s been up to and he explains about Ojo and the bug . " A bug ? ! " shouts Tutter and he zips away out of the kitchen . " Tutter ? " wonders Bear . " Tutter ! " " Bear - Bear , I ' m down here , " replies Tutter , and he is shown cowering down in front of his mousehole . Bear asks him what ' s the matter . " Bugs are the matter ! " he exclaims . Bear counters that it was just a little bug , but Tutter won ' t have it . He says that it may have been little to someone like Bear , but to a mouse , bugs are giants . " Giants , I tell you ! " Bear tries to empathize , but Tutter goes on about bugs ' pinchers and crazy wiggling and fluttering wings . " Whoa , whoa , whoa ! " he goes , starting to shake . Bear has him take a deep breath to calm down . He tells him that the bug is way out at the Otter Pond and he ' s in the Big Blue House . " Oh , you don ' t know these bug like I do , Bear , " counters Tutter . He says that one minute they ' re outside and the next minute they ' re in your face , eating all your food . He asks Bear to not let Ojo bring it in the house , which Bear agrees to . " Some of us don ' t like to be around bugs , but that ' s okay , too , " he muses . " Yeah , " agrees Tutter . Bear tells him that there are some bugs that are useful . Tutter replies that that ' s well and good , but he ' d rather that bugs not be useful around him . " See you later , " he says and heads back into his mousehole . Shadow ' s Story . Bear tells us that that Tutter is worried about the bug , but bugs aren ' t around to bother or scare us . They just do their own thing . A female voice is heard laughing and Bear says it sounds like Shadow . He sings her special song , then shouts forher and she appears on one of the walls of hallway . Bear asks her what she ' s been up to and she says she was just skittering about with her spider friends . She shows Bear she can crawl just like a spider . Bear says it ' s pretty good and asks if she can tells us a story . " You don ' t have to bug me for a tale , " she quips and begins singing a song . In her story , a ladybug finds that her house is on fire . She gathers her kids together and gets a firetruck , then they speed to the house . They hook up the firehose and spray the house , putting out the fire . It turned out that her house was struck by lightning bugs . Bear says that it was a great story and he loves ladybugs because they ' re so friendly . " They ' ll sit right on your finger if you let them , " agrees Shadow . She says she ' s off , but to just try and catch her if he needs another story . The Bug ' s in the House ! Red Alert ! Bear suggests that we go back and check on Tutter , but just then Treelo approaches and asks Bear to come see something . It turns out that Treelo actually wants Bear to go see Tutter - - apparently something is going on with him . They go visit Tutter , who is holding a pair of binoculars and saying that no bug is going to sneak up on him . Bear and Treelo look into his mousehole and he says that he sees two bugs , " real furry ones . One is big & brown and the other is green & white and - - Oh no ! They ' re getting closer ! " Bear and Treelo explain that it ' s just them . Tutter says they scared him . Bear apologizes , and asks what ' s with all the sandbags that Tutter has piled in front of his mousehole . Tutter replies that a mouse has to protect his home . " From what ? " asks Treelo . Tutter replies that he ' s protecting it from an invasion of bugs . Bear says there ' s nothing to worry about because the kind of bug that Ojo found never comes inside . Ojo approaches them and Bear says that he thought she was outside looking for her bug . She says that she was and followed her right in the front door . Tutter begins to panic . " The bug ' s in the house ? ! The bug ' s in the house ? ! Red alert ! " Bear tells him to calm down , that they ' ll all look for the big and take him back outside once they find him . They all shout " here , buggy , buggy ! " and Bear asks if he ' ll come with him . Tutter says that he ' s going to stay in his mousehole , on alert . " There comes a time in every mouse ' s life when he is tested by fate , when he must stand and fall . . . " Bear nods , cutting of Tutter and says he ' ll be right back . " What am I , a mouse or a mouse ? " wonders Tutter . He says that he ' ll be fine all alone , but then starts to panic . Just then , the bug crawls along the wall , right up the edge of his mousehole . Tutter freezes in shock and then the scene changes to Bear , Ojo and Treelo . Why Be Scared of a Friend ? Bear asks them if they ' ve found anything and Ojo says that they looked everywhere a bug could be . Tutter calls for them and they realize that Tutter may have a lead on the bug . They search for him in his mousehole , but Tutter calls them from up at the kitchen window . He ' s with the bug and tells them he has someone he wants them to meet . Ojo tells him not to worry , that the bug won ' t hurt him and he says that it ' s okay . " Aren ' t you afraid ? " asks Bear and Tutter asks why he would be scared of a friend . Everyone wonders about this and he admits that he was a little scared at first , but then he saw her chewing on a weed from his tomato garden , one that is very bad for his tomatoes . The bug loves weeds . Bear says that ' s one of the great things about bugs . " I told ya ' she was a friend , " says Ojo . " By the way , her name is Bertha , " Tutter tells them . He seems to be able to understand a bit of the bug ' s language . He says that she ' s missing her log . Bear agrees that bugs do belong outside , so they all head for the Otter Pond to put her back . Pip and Pops ' Discovery , Bathtime and Talk with Luna . Ojo returns to Bertha to her log , saying that she ' s going to miss her . Bear consoles her by telling her that she come visit . Pip and Pop then pop up above Bear ' s head with a happy " Hey , guys ! " Ojo explains that they were bringing Bertha back . " So ya ' like bugs , do ya ' ? " they ask . Ojo and Treelo heartily agree , while Tutter is at least willing to agree that he likes Bertha . " Should we show them , Pip ? " asks Pop and Pip says " I think we can , Pop . " " Show us what ? " asks Bear and Pip says that it ' s the coolest bug thing of all . " Right this way , " they say and lead the group to a pupa . " Oh great , " sneers Tutter . " A bump on a branch . That ' s a show . " Bear explains what it is and that there ' s a butterfly inside . Pip and Pop say not to spoil it . They all watch and see that the pupa is moving . From it emerges a monarch butterfly . Tutter says that he likes this bug too - - it ' s nice and small . He , Bear and Ojo return to the Big Blue House where they chat happily about the butterfly . " Who knew butterflies were bugs ? " asks Tutter . Ojo says she has a book with lots of bugs upstairs . They start to head up to look for it . Bear asks if they ' re forgetting something . They try to guess what and he says that they were crawling around outside , so maybe they should do some cleaning up upstairs . The song " Everybody in the Tub " is played . Once bathtime is over , Bear says that it was " some day " and suggests that we go up and tell Luna about it . He heads to the ledge outside the attic and greets Luna . He talks about Ojo found the bug and how Tutter was afraid at first , but then learned that bugs do useful things and became friends with Bertha . " How about Pip and Pop ? " asks Luna . Bear tells her about the butterfly they found and she says that she loves to watch butterflies spread their wings . They then sing the " Goodbye Song " together . Bear heads into the attic and bids us goodbye . He turns off the light , but then turns it back on and says that the next time we see a bug we should say hello to it , from him . A monarch butterfly lands on his arm and he giggles .
