==Attraction History==

When Disney Imagineers created the Tree of Life, they originally wanted a high scale restuaruant named the Root Restaurant to be built inside of the icon <ref name= "jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/walt_disney_world/theme_parks/animal_kingdom/its_tough_to_be_a_bug/ </ref> <ref name= "korkis"> http://allears.net/ae/issue841.htm </ref>. Early on however, Disney decided that they would be better served housing a show inside the tree <ref name= "jack"/>. Since the Tree of Life was going to be the symbol of Disney's Animal Kingdom, Imagineers wanted the show to have themes of nature and conservation. One idea that was pitched for the attraction was a film that would have shown guests the "Wonders of Nature" and concept work for this attraction was done by Imagineer Bryan Jowers <ref name="jack"/> <ref name= "korkis"/>. A film featuring characters from the Lion King was also considered, however Disney Imagineers felt that this concept was too similar to the [[Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable]] attraction at [[Epcot]] <ref name="jack"/>.

===Main Show===

It's Tough to be a Bug! opens with Flick the ant being announced as the host of the show. Flick begins by pointing out to the guests that despite the enormous amount of bugs in the world, humans don't seem able to see bugs. In order to help them, he tells everyone to put their Bug Eyes (3D glasses) on, so that they can see the bug world. After guests put their glasses on, a group of butterflies appear on screen forming a curtain, before flying apart to reveal Flick.

As Flick begins to talk about the various survival techniques that bugs have, a Chilean Tarantula named Chili sneaks up behind him. The tarantula is friendly however, eventually apologizing for starling the ant. After saying it’s okay, Flick goes on to explain to guests that Chilean Tarantula's shoot poison quills at their enemies, "with deadly accuracy". To show off his skills Chili uses a wooden slingshot to shoot acorns, which he then breaks apart with his quills. The beetles that are holding the acorns eventually cause Chili to miss however, and the quills fly into the audience.

After Chili leaves the stage in anger, Flick introduces a termite who defends his home by shooting acid. After a flea begins mocking the termite, he shoots him with a ball of acid before declaring that he "detects more intruders" (the audience). Despite Flick's best efforts, the termite shoots acid at the audience, before eventually running out. The third guest that Flick introduces is a stinkbug named Claire de Room, who is prepared to aim her stench at a flower. When an Acorn Weevil gets stuck in the flower and moves it near the audience however, the bug hits the audience with its "stench".
