Maggie the Mite (from Sanson, New Zealand) plays a ukulele that can only be seen with a microscope.

Walter the Wasp (from Levin, New Zealand) is a punk rocker who upsets the neighbours with his loud electric guitar.

fleaBITE wants to start a new insect band. He travels round New Zealand (via dog) with his musical sidekicks The Fabulous Fleamales.

At each small town, fleaBITE interviews an insect musician keen to get their musical careers started before their life cycle ends.

Over 13 episodes we introduce 13 eccentric insect characters and their instrument of choice.

We also give kids an insight into species we usually regard with fear or disgust.

Is a dust mite eating skin flakes really so different from us eating corn flakes?

Have cicadas really been percussionists for millions of years?

fleaBITE already has a following in NZ, Australia and the USA for our quirky, award-winning kids’ music and animated clips.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO JOIN THE FLEABITE BAND takes fleaBITE’s music in a whole new direction while retaining our trademark cheeky humour.

This week fleaBITE travels to Hastings, New Zealand to interview Marama the Weta. Marama plays the baritone saxophone cos it’s got a mellow night-time vibe… just like her.
