Notes
Mix fillings for variety: Offering both peanut butter and mayo gives kids (and adults) the chance to try sweet and savoury bug snacks. In my experience, a mixed platter always disappears quicker than a one-flavour tray.
Keep fruit bugs sturdy: Grapes, blueberries, and blackberries hold their shape best for caterpillars and butterflies. Juicier fruits like passionfruit or cherries are beautiful but can be slippery, so secure them with extra filling.
Add personality with details: Candy eyes, raisins, or seeds instantly bring the bugs to life. Antennae made from thin cucumber, carrot, or pretzel sticks also make them more fun and realistic.
