Everything Tastes Better with Gnats

The hilarious adventures of four animal friends in your own back yard

"It takes at least three batches of spit to cure a fly properly." - Frog
Stink bugs give you horrible breath. Caterpillars clog your throat. But a mosquito that's just had its supper — well, nothing's sweeter than a loaded skeeter! In "The Bug Collection," Frog expounds on the delectability of sweet-and-sour fireflies and the rarity of June bugs, then strikes a deal with Screechy Blue Jay for a moth that absolutely melts in your mouth.

"How much for that ball of hair?" - Screechy Blue Jay
"The Garage Sale" finds Young Rabbit and Little Squirrel selling some of their old stuff. Screechy Blue Jay spots a ball of hair he can use but he balks at the price. Young Rabbit throws in some straw as an incentive, but when Frog comes along and makes a better offer, the sparks begin to fly.

"If you have enough gnats, you've got a gourmet meal." - Frog
