NickJr.com Description
"This 7 year old little bedbug is the clown of the pack. He does everything at lightning speed, which means he often acts and speaks before he thinks. He's very forgetful. "Oops. I forgot" is his refrain, but he means well so it's easy to forgive him. Miss Spider is always trying to get him to eat a good meal because he can go days without eating. When he does sit still long enough to eat, he's ravenous and can wolf down everything in sight."
