Background
The Bug City is actually a place full of littered things under a trailer. The city has buildings made of boxes and cans, sidewalks made of cardboard, and streetlights made of Christmas lights and lightning bugs. While there, Flik encounters several sorts of unusual bugs such as a granddaddy longlegs, snails, beetles, flies, mosquitoes, slugs, a cricket, a mime millipede, wasps, and other sorts of bugs living there,
While exploring, Flik finds a group of recently-fired circus bugs at the Bug Bar and mistakes them as warriors, due to their classic "Robin Hood" act. When P.T. Flea arrives in Ant Island look for his missing troupe and blows Flik's cover, Princess Atta banishes Flik and the troupe to Bug City, however this was a fatal mistake to Princess Atta; she puts herself and the entire colony in danger. However, thanks to Dot's advice, Flik, the Circus Bugs, and the colony were able to end Hopper's reign on Ant Island after Flik was wrongfully banished.
