A Mosquito, a Fly, and a Roach Walk Into a Juice Bar

Insects with bad reps. A reluctant team-up. Then an antennae-twitching mini-human crisis that could end them before dusk.

The Hook

One tastes with his feet. One has nanosharp microsaws hidden in what looks like a harmless straw. And one has a gizzard with six teeth that can grind cardboard.

Together, they're either the worst team ever assembled...or the best.

Mosquito, Fly, and Roach are evicted from their cozy homes. They use their real-life science superpowers to stage a juice bar heist and outsmart a mini-human and her hungry bearded dragon in this unlikely, friendship-fueled STEAM adventure.

Lose yourself in the humor; keep the science for life.

The zany energy of Dog Man, the STEM-savvy fun of Bug Scouts, and the friendship of Narwhal & Jelly.

Three outcasts. One tough morning.

FLY

Born leader. Never a buzz-kill, even when his sticky tarsi itch for the next tasty snack.

"If my antennae smell something weird, I'm in."

Roach — a burgundy and tan cockroach wearing blue sunglasses, antennae raised. Illustration by Kim Crumrine.
ROACH

Cool and mysterious. Stubborn as a hard-back. And never leaves home without his shades — his best work happens in the dark.

"My family's outlived dinosaurs. I'll outlive this."

Mosquito — a tan-bodied mosquito with long proboscis, slim wings, and dangling legs, in profile view. Illustration by Kim Crumrine.
MOSQUITO

All armor, no chill. Ninja stealth and zero patience.
But don't let the bravado fool you.

"Nothing beats a barbecue for a quick red drink!"
