- Quotes
Narrator: Another specie is the Tabernus Atrottus or 'horse-fly' - known for its remarkable speed.
[the horseflies quickly zoomed away except for one slow member]
Narrator: [to the slow horse-fly] Say, what makes you so slow?
Horse-fly: [to the audience] Uh... I've been hanging around Bing Crosby's horses too long.

Featured review
Not among the studio's best...but still enjoyable.
In the late 1930s and well into the 1940s, Looney Tunes made quite a few documentary style cartoons. Each was filled with lame jokes that came one after the other and a narrator introduces each segment of the cartoon. For the most part, these are inoffensive but not hilarious.
The style of "The Bug Parade" is exactly what you'd expect in such a cartoon...with a few jokes that fall flat (those involving the ants) and a few which don't.
