Once upon a time, there is this little bug named Kumbang Mi staying in his Buggieland, happily with his other kumbangs- Kumbang La, Kumbang Dan, and many other fellow kumbangs. They also share the same Buggieland with other Buggites- Rama-Rama, Semut, Nyamuk... They live happily in this Buggie Land. The Buggie land is a wonderful nation too. They have a great king Raja Kumbang and he is very wise.
Raja King wants his children to know more about the things outside the buggie world. So he sent many of his children out and let them go and explore the wonderful world. The king also sent other Buggites out to learn. He wants them to teach young Buggites in return.
However, being wise too, the king warns them about the excitement they will find and also the potential threats that they will face. He gives them advice so that they may not trap easily. He also encourage them so that they will not give up half way. So, Kumbang Mi, Kumbang La, Kumbang Dan, Rama-Rama Sa, Semut Pi, Nyamuk Ju...all of them are ready to leave the Buggieland. Some for the very first time.
Nyamuk Ju is very impatient to leave this place. She wanted to settle elsewhere because in Buggieland, she is not allowed to suck any of the kumbangites and other buggie's blood. She has to rely on the supply of her family source and drink blood silently. During the journey, she met another Nyamuk named Ades. Ades is very goodlooking, he has wonderful strips like zebra and Ades is very charming too. So, together they fall in love at settle by the lake and Nyamuk Ju never comeback to Buggieland.
Semut Pi is very scared. Since he never leaves his people and this is his first time going out without his huge families, he is in fact nervous. Nonetheless, he met many wonderful friends especially Kura-kura. Kura-Kura offered him shelther and invited him to stay at his place. Semut Pi help them with chores. Semut Pi heard many new stories about Kura-kura. He stayed for a little longer and go home. He even manage to convince Kura-kura to come home and stay in Buggieland. Kura-kura likes Buggieland too but he missed kangkung, his favorite snacks. So he went home after a month and promise will come visit again.
Rama-Rama Sa loves flowers. She visits many flowers. Some are new and some are the beutiful ones she sees everyday in Buggieland. She befriends Lebah and together they learn more about honey. Rama-Rama Sa manage to create new honey from new nectar that she never got to taste. Although she almost got trap at labah-labah nest, she is glad that she manage to learn new things. She also learn many new honey making technique from Lebah. After sometime, she goes home and brought home some new flower seeds. Buggieland has more beautiful flowers and nectar.
Kumbang Mi however refuse to make friends. He stayed in his nest most of the time. He is smart because he reads a lot in Buggieland. Kumbang Mi knows a lot of wonders too but he chhose to stays in his nest. Kumbang La and Kumbang Dan sometimes ask him to go meet people but Kumbang Mi just said he is not too free for the day. Sometimes, Kumbang Mi is surprised at the friends that Kumbang La and Kumbang Dan made- bugs like Belalang Hop and Lalat Fli. They are so different from the kumbangs. Especially Belalang, Buggieland makes it forbidden for Belalang to cross the boundary as the Raja Kumbang is afraid that Belalang may attack his children. Nonetheless, Kumbang La and Kumbang Dan and Belalang Hop are good friends. Belalang didnt attack them. Lalat too is viewed as nasty citizens in Buggie. Many Buggites would never friend lalat but kumbang almost never associate themselves with lalat. Lalat is among the dirtiest bug in Buggieland. Nonetheless, Kumbang La and Kumbang Dan are friends of Lalat Fli. They come to Lalat Fli's Dirty Dancing Party and other events. Kumbang La and Kumbang Dan had a wonderful time.
After sometime many other Buggites went home with new knowledge, new insights, and make new friends. They also get to know other Buggites better and other bugs that are so new and interesting. Of course, nyamuk is nowhere be found and Raja Kumbang is a little disappointed with her.
After sometime, Raja Kumbang died. Majority of Buggieland citizen choose Kumbang Mi to be Raja because he is very intelligent. He is renamed Kumbang Shah. Kumbang Shah still send buggites out because that was the a move started by Raja Kumbang.
However, more and more buggites are adventuring out of Buggieland. Some changes occur in Buggieland. More tress are planted and Buggieland is more beutiful. Semut clan is trying to plant kangkung. Others try to make friends with Belalang. Lalat is beginning to be accepted. They even brought some of their extended families to Buggieland.
Many of the kumbang is worried. Other bugs are worried too. Therefore, Kumbang Shah reduce the number of buggites allowed to go for adventure and with only strict rules observed. So, fewer bugs are bringing home friends like Kura-kura or Lalat and Belalang is absolutely not allowed within the soil of buggieland.
Some bugs commented on the rules but most bugs are fine with it.
So, Kumbang La's idea of negotiating with Belalang clan is fiercefully objected. Kumbang Dan is sometimes excluded by many other bugs but Lalat. Rama-Rama Sa wanted to go out to get new seeds but it is not Kumbang Shah said they have quite a lot of honey already and that should be enough. Semut Pi remains the worker in the semut clan but he didnt grow kangkung in large scale anymore.
Of course, Nyamuk Ju is staying by the lake and never know that Buggites in Buggieland are talking bad about her. She couldnt care less anyways. She has too many kids to take care of.
