It is estimated that there are some ten quintillion insects alive

at any one time.

But, forget at them, this is about me! Lloyd!

I'm a fly.

222, 223, 224.

No, you don't, come back. 224.

Brilliant. Right, that's everybody.

Where you off to, Mrs Lloyd?

Bigo's gone out and left the telly on.

A rare treat so we're taking the maggots.

You coming, Lloyd? No, thanks, I'm busy.

Holly, Molly, did you hear the telly's on?

Of course, where do you think we're taking our maggots!

Cracking. We can make a day of it.

Do you know what'll be on the telly? I don't know.

As long as it's something fun.

Shall we go then? Yes, don't want to be late.

Go where? The party.

Huh?

What party? What party?

Just coming.

Oh, you're early. Fashionably early.

What, Berry's having a party? Why wasn't I invited?

I didn't want to. I mean, you said you were busy.

Eh, I probably did say that. That's because I am.

Busy? Busy doing what?

Erm...

Busy having my own party.

You are having a party? Yes.

At the same time as Berry's party? Yes.

What a coincidence.

Such a shame everyone is already coming to mine.

Er, not true.

Actually, I've got loads of guests coming to my party.

Really? Who?

Abacus and PB. Yes, I'm invited!

But I live with you, I don't think that counts.

It does if I invite you.

Tell you what, Lloyd, I'll give you that.

PB counts.

Look at that, I just doubled your number of guests.

No, there are more coming.

Lots more than are coming to your party, actually.

Guess, we'll see about that then. I guess we shall.

Hm.

Come on. Party time. Come on, guys.

Hm.

Who else is coming to your party? Everyone. Yeah, all my friends.

He's already here. Thank you for inviting me, Lloyd.

Er, you'll see PB.

As soon as you spread the word this place will be packed.

You don't even have balloons. Berry has lots of balloons.

Oh, Graham, Amber. Ooh, nice balloons.

Life of the party.

You're right. He has too many balloons.

He won't miss one.

Hm.

Hm.

You can have a balloon if you want a balloon, Lloyd.

No, Berry, I do not want a balloon. Good luck with the party.

Oh.

Welcome. Always a pleasure to meet a fan.

Come on, in you go.

There you go, balloon.

Oh, Cornea. Hello you three.

Are you coming to Lloyd's party too?

Lloyd's party? No, Berry's party. I love a good party.

Oh, well, then you should come to my party.

Yeah, mine's the good party, Berry's having a bad party.

Oh. That's a pity for Berry. It is.

Luckily, you've chosen my party. Oh, wait, what?

Come on in.

There's no-one here, I must be early.

You're so fashionable.

Don't worry, there's plenty more guests on the way. Heh.

PB, go host.

I was tempted to go back to Berry's but if this is the good party...

Shush, shush in you go.

Oh, Catastrophe Jim, Bob and Gummy. Gummy counts, right?

Hm.

Hello, hello, guests welcome. Party this way.

Hey, the invite says the Clementine.

No, that's a misspelling of apple. It's very much in here, come on in!

So many guests already. Yeah, let's find more.

Ah-ha!

Not this way, this way, brilliant party.

Greatest guests on Earth.

There's catastrophe Jim, the doom slayer.

Bob and Gummy, survivors of the vacuum cleaner.

And, uh, Abacus, the dancing wood louse,

he's there, yeah. Erm...

He'll dance. Oh, heh, he will dance.

Sounds enticing.

Uh, heh.

Yard, so good to see you.

Coming through.

How many guests is that? Including Gummy, 10.

Heh. That's double figures. Oh, brilliant.

Go and see how many Berry's got.

Lloyd, the guests are getting bored.

What already? Why?

There are no balloons, snacks or music

and the conversation is dry.

Just give them that and just tell 'em some spider facts.

They can eat an apple. Gloria, sing your party song.

Ooh, which one?

Er, just it doesn't matter, any, take your pick, your favourite.

How many? Is he on double figures? No, but...

Yes, winning.

No, he's got more guests arriving. I need to stay ahead. What can I do?

Well, Berry was giving out party bags.

Freebies? Perfect.

OK, do another count and I'll get more guests.

But...

Come to a party and get free stuff.

You can have a bowl or a plate or a picture of the family.

Oh. I don't have a family.

Want a picture of mine? Huh, I'd love one.

This way.

♪ Inside my chrysalis ♪

Her warble's giving Gummy a headache.

I've been traumatised with spider plants.

Who serves apple at a party? What's happening? Don't go!

Sorry, Lloyd, I think this might be the bad party.

How many guests are left?

Two, well, four, if we count you and Abacus.

Four's not bad.

Berry wasn't even at double figures just now.

That's because he was at triple figures.

Sorry, I tried to say.

What? How many? 210.

210? I mean, how did he manage 210?

I think he invited them in advance. And properly prepared a fun party.

Hm.

Is this the party? Next door.

Hm.

This is still nice.

It's the quality not the quantity that matters.

Well, tell that to Berry. 210.

Party's next door.

So I hear.

You're back early.

Well, there was nothing good on the telly

and the maggots got restless.

Shame, we just wanted to do something fun with the maggots.

Where's the picture that was here?

Wait, Mum, Dad, maggots. Do you want to come to a party?

A party? A party?

Yeah, a family party.

How rude, the clementine is jumping.

Oh.

So sorry your party is a failure with so few guests.

I don't know about that, Berry. Count them up please, Abacus.

I admire the effort, but I've got 218 guests,

not counting Gummy.

230.

No, maggots don't count, they live with you.

Just like me and you said I counted.

Yeah, but, no, they're not guests.

I invited them so they are, and therefore I win.

Berry, do Molly and Polly know about your party?

Yeah, they're totally fine with it.

Berry, what is this party? I am livid!

No, wait! I can explain.

Oh, I cannot believe he had a party without his aunts knowing.

Oh, the cheek.

That's it, party's over!

Doom.

No, wait, back to Lloyd's party next door.

Er...

Lloyd, you said family party.

Hm.

What's with all the randos?
