Gabby, Stripes, Starla and Darington don't appear in this episode.
Zeg visited Animal Island for the first (and only) time, whereas his first appearance in the new animation style.
This is the second episode where a transformation needed only one part after the gorilla in Animal Island.
Insects that Pickle became with the insect helmet:
Silkworm
Cricket
Ladybug
Insects that Crusher became with the insect helmet:
Dragonfly
Stilt bug
Stink beetle
The butterflies' appearances have been radically altered as of this episode; originally it had the design of a miniature truck with wings and antennae; now it resembles a more realistic butterfly.
It is implied that Crusher is afraid of heights (Acrophobia).
The insect transformations are the smallest sized transformations to date.
Blaze and Zeg’s theme colors match the colors of their insect transformations in real-life.
Zeg uses Blazing Speed for the fourth time since Race to Eagle Rock back in Season 2, and the first time in the updated animation style.
The grasshopper transformation makes use of Zeg's existing dinosaur features and reinterprets them as the insect's features. His nose horn is the grasshopper's head spike, the grasshopper mandibles are formed over his beak-like grill design, his frill becomes the wings, and his tail forms the abdomen, with the tow ball on the end replaced by a set of circe.
Zeg's Blazing Speed trail also gets a new redesign to now make it light green instead of lime green.
This is the only Season 3 episode whose airing order matches its production order.
This is Zeg’s last appearance in Season 3.
Blaze would've been crushed to death had him not stop the honey squeezer machine.
Running Gags[]
Every time Crusher uses Pickle's insect helmet, he becomes an insect with abilities that harm and/or humiliate him.
Allusions[]
The title is a pun of "The Big Adventure", combined with ants.
Goofs[]
Ants cannot lift logs, like how Blaze does in the STEM song.
Zeg wouldn't have been able to jump on the caterpillars as grasshoppers are bigger than caterpillars in real-life.
When the camera zooms out to the honey factory as Blaze realizes it, Zeg is not transformed.
