Die Story
Eine aufmüpfige Mücke, die sich weigert, Blut zu trinken, begegnet einem Rauperich, der sein Leben genieβt wie es ist, und sein Larvenstadium nicht aufgeben möchte. Mücke hat Hunger und Raupe sucht nach dem Sinn, sich verändern zu müssen. Also machen sie sich gemeinsam auf den Weg um Antworten zu finden und begegnen dabei den verschiedensten Figuren: dem fröhlichen Mistkäfer, der Papierwespe, einem leicht unheimlichen Bücherwurm, der Luna, einem schönen Nachtfalter in Not, und der gefährlichen, glamourösen Spinne. In dieser Geschichte vom Weg zum Erwachsenwerden führen für Raupe und Mücke alle Wege zurück zu sich selbt.
