* ComicBookTime: None of the protagonists seem to age at all and it's never made clear how old they are, but given that insects age differently than humans this is justified. How time runs in this universe hasn't been stated explicitly by the creators.
Added DiffLines:
* HumansAreSpecial: To the main characters, anything provided by humans is seen often as being god-like and benevolent, taking "one man's trash is another man's treasure" literally here, human trash is benevolence to the insects. However, we never see any humans in the show.
Added DiffLines:
* WorldLimitedToThePlot: The setting is Wishy Washy Bay, a beach city on a rubbish dump within a jungle, and it doesn't go beyond it.

* AgelessBirthdayEpisode: Hypno-Letch shows Letch the leech celebrating his birthday, and "Surprise!" gives Amy the token female character a birthday, but their ages are never revealed. This is [[EnforcedTrope enforced]] since insects tend to age rather quickly and the show's producers ''want'' [[ComicBookTime a floating timeline]].
* AntiVillain: Letch is lonely and just wants to have friends, but his methods of going about it are questionable. He's got no EvilPlan, in reality, just doesn't know how to socialise well.
