Correct, a GRASSHOPPER is mentioned in Quiet Sam. Goober also once claimed to
have caught three fish on the same grasshopper. Doesn't it seem like Andy and
Barney would have been awfully young to have been dissecting things in 1938? At
their class reunion a banner gave their year or graduation
In the Quiet Sam episode, Barney recalls Andy freezing up when he had
tried to dissect a grasshopper in 8th grade biology (You froze!).
After Andy delivered the baby, Barney told him, You sure didn't freeze
up on this little grasshopper.

Several people have mentioned flies in the generic sense.A fishing fly can be
seen in the episode Big Fish in a Small Town.There are several in the caps of
Howard and Goober.

Great job coming up with more types of bugs. The green-eyed monster and the
love bug were the imaginary biting bugs I had in mind.
Here is a list of all the bugs named since I started this thread. I hope I
didn't forget any:
ANTS that Clara feared would be attracted by spilled grease. Opie
Opie bugged Eddie Blake's cell with a microphone in Tape Recorder.

All this talk about bugs is bugging me. I'm guilty of just enjoying the
stories and sweetness to pay such strict attention to those small details.
Here is a semi alumni spotting. Michael Ansara was married to Barbara
Eden and he appeared in The Ten Commandments on Sunday. I also spotted
Hey all,
So many bugs in Mayberry have already been mentioned, but wasn't the
love-bug mentioned at one time too? It seems to me that it was, but if it
wasn't, it should have been, what with that duck pond being so near and
handy.
Also Opie once caught a fly while sitting in a church service
Didn't Aunt Bee go help out a friend who wrenched her back when she spilled
grease behind the stove and tried to move it to clean it up for fear it would
attract ants?

Didn't Otis and Barney argue over the ink blot test as depicting a bat or a
butterfly? Does that count as a bug?
Once in a while I like to see bats!

And when Gomer took Thelma Lou in his truck, Barney was said by Andy to have
been bitten by the green eyed monster, to which Gomer thinks is a bug and
tells him that the drug store has some medicine for that.
Is that one you were thinking of as well?

Nice job everybody on naming more kinds of bugs mentioned in Mayberry. I had
forgotten about Darlene Mason's discussion about fireflies. That didn't happen
in Mayberry but it was mentioned aloud so that's good enough. I had also
forgotten Brisco's mentioning a June bug, and the bugged cell
There were bats in the cave that could got in your hair, not moths.
Moths are very annoying though!
There was one episode in which Opie asked if he could outside and
collect fireflies.
Andy was also trying to swat a fly in the courthouse one day.
I think Aunt BEE should count!!!

mentioned in Mayberry. Here are the correct answers so far:
Fly
Aphid
Centipede
Spider

Aunt Bee is not a bug. Bee does not count unless someone comes up with a

Hi Gang,
Haven't received a digest in two days either, so I went to the Archive site to
see if anything new was there, and there WAS!! Paul asked about bugs, one that
quickly came to mind was the time that Opie and Arnold BUGGED the cell that led
them to the hidden money that the prisoner

- Aphids - Mr. Wheeler supposedly saw aphids on Aunt Bee's roses
- Bugs - Opie was trying to catch bugs and worms to feed his birds
- Fireflies - Opie would go out at night to catch fireflies
- And of course, we can't forget the most famous reference: Aunt BEE

Hey, Mayberry friends. Bugs and spiders and ants and bats, Oh My! I'd better
order a gross of Miracle Salve to soothe all the bites. Except for the bats.
They just lay eggs in your hair and make you go crazy. I usually wear a hat and
if I'm in a cave I always pull it down close to my ears
I don't think we actually saw the bug, but Opie caught a fly in church one
time. He was listening to it buzz in his fist, but Andy made him stop.
Bug-catchin' is not appropriate church behavior!! : )

I just thought of some more bugs. When Clara spilled grease behind her
stove, she worried it would draw ants. Opie said he'd make an ant farm out
of them. Then there were the band uniforms that were improperly stored and
had been chewed on by moths. Also Barney said it wasn't a good idea
I don't know that spiders qualify as bugs, but don't forget that there are
spiders under that bandstand ... and Gomer doesn't like spiders :)
God Bless!

Hey, Mayberry friends. Is a spider considered a bug? In Sermon for Today I
didn't see any spiders but Gomer sure didn't like 'em. Bugs or no bugs all I
can say is What's Your Hurry.
Larry in Lincolnton
Barney: Gomer, get down there with them spiders and start working!
Later on.

Didn't Mrs Clara have ants behind her stove after she spilled some
grease and hurt her back trying to clean it up? Opie wanted her to
save the ants for him so he could have an ant farm.

One of my favorite scenes contained a reference to a bug. When Barney
shows Otis an inkblot and Otis erroneously said it looked like a bat.
Barney corrected him that it was instead a butterfly. I crack up when Otis

They have a special bug in Mayberry called the Green Eyed Monster. Barney got
bitten by it, but according to Gomer they've got something down at the
drugstore that will keep them off of you (one fell on him last week).

a few bedbugs and dust

Barney also wore anti bug goggles when he got his motorcicle, even though
they didn't have any glass lenses.

Well, in Sermon for Today, Opie caught a fly in church, although we don't

bugs for the baby birds, though, again
