And, in relation to BigEater above, she is shown to have occasional gluttonous fantasies, similar to how real female mantises are indeed big eaters. Amazingly enough, the show actually ''averts'' the BlackWidow [[StopBeingStereotypical stereotype]] that female mantises are usually given in fiction.

''Growing Up Creepie'' (2006-2008) is an animated television series made by Mike Young Productions and produced by Discovery Kids. In other countries the series is simply titled Creepie.
As told in opening introduction and in the episode "Creepie Crawling", Creepie was an orphan left on doorstep of the Dweezwold Mansion, which is home to a family of various insects. The family take her in and raise her as one of their own. However, she must now adjust to a life surrounded by a society of entemophobic humans as she attends Middlington Middle School and keeps her home life secret in order to protect both herself and her family.
----
!!Tropes represented on this show:
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Dr. Pappas
* AdultsAreUseless: Played Straight with most of the adults. Very subverted with Creepie's parents, who are ''insects''. Chris-Alice's parents may be a subversion to a lesser degree.

* AlliterativeName: Creepie Creecher, Budge Bentley, Melani Melisma, Carla Cabrera, Harry Helby, etc.

** LovableAlphaBitch: Sort of.

* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Most insects in this show behave like humans, and even live well over a decade at the least.
** This gets kind of weird when mistreatment of bugs (and their reaction) becomes an issue, ranging from offhand comments to becoming the basis of a plot. Raised by bugs or not, you'd think someone other than Creepie would notice.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Creepie presents bug-related factoids between the animated segments.
* BigEater: Caroleena, an insect, eats an entire frog whole. How's that for a KarmicDeath?

* FakeBand: In Season 2, Episode 8: "Going For Brogue", The 3 Goth Kids formed their own rockband calling themselves "Plaid Vapors", with Raven the guitarist, Misery the pianist, & Morpheus the drummer. Their chance to play at the school dance may have got canceled due to it's bagpipers gone batty, but believe it or not their 1st gig was a huge success. This was in large part in their friend Creepie Creecher & her mastery of the bagpipes, Raven Mcfadden herself was so proud of her that night. What she also told Creepie that the bagpipes itself contain the ghost of her great great great great great grandfather Angus Mcfadden, born in Scotland no doubt.
* FantasyKitchenSink: Ghosts, aliens, living dolls, haunted bagpipes, mythological creatures.
* FlyCrazy: Gnat
* FunnyForeigner : Ms. Monseratte

* HappilyAdopted
* HauntedHouse: Creepie's house

* OddFriendship: It's unknown why Creepie and Chris-Alice are friends, having clashing personalities and hardly anything in common.
** Not to mention Chris-Alice hates bugs and her dad is the local bug exterminator.

* SecretKeeper: Bugde. Eventually, Creepie also tried to confide in Chris-Alice, but...well, see NoSocialSkills.
* ShallowLoveInterest: Skipper for Creepie. At first she was only interested in him because she thought he was a half-spider hybrid and she lost all interest in him once she found out he wasn't. Then later she became interested in him again only because his adoptive mother is a spider.

* ShoutOut: The ''Tarantula Boy'' movie trailer is somewhat similar to ''Film/{{Spider-Man}}''.
* SternTeacher: Ms. Monseratte, She's always spying on Creepie and the other students at Middlington Middle School and is a stickler for rules. She's obsessed with cleanliness. She will usually hand out a detention slip if a student even so much as ''accidentally'' bump into her. Creepie's homeroom teacher, Dr. Pappas like Ms. Monseratte is stern too.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Maybe the reason of why Melanie and Carla (among other girls) drool over Harry Helby.
* AlliterativeName: Creepie Creecher, Budge Bentley, Melani Melisma, Carla Cabrera, Harry Helby, etc.
* AlphaBitch: Subverted with Melanie and Carla, despite acting in typical Alpha Bitch fashion and seeming to be two of the show's antagonists, they are (sort of) Creepie's friends.
** LovableAlphaBitch: Sort of.
* AlwaysNight: Creepie's house seems to be this.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Most insects in this show behave like humans, and even live well over a decade at the least.
** This gets kind of weird when mistreatment of bugs (and their reaction) becomes an issue, ranging from offhand comments to becoming the basis of a plot. Raised by bugs or not, you'd think someone other than Creepie would notice.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Creepie presents bug-related factoids between the animated segments.
* BigEater: Caroleena, an insect, eats an entire frog whole. How's that for a KarmicDeath?
** ExtremeOmnivore: Said frog was a previously dead frog reanimated as a cyborg. She either didn't notice or didn't care and ate the mechanical parts too, as is evident when she burps and light shines out of her eyes.
* BlackBestFriend: Budge
* CatchPhrase:
** Creepie: "Wicked!"
** Chris-Alice: "Soggy Muffins" and "Super Mega Duper"
** Raven: "Gruesome" and "Gruesomely Awesome"
* TheClan: Being formed by insects, Creepie's family is really big
* ClingyJealousGirl: Melanie and Carla can be this towards Harry
* CreepyChild: Guess who?
* CreepyUncle: Aunt Rose, who happens to be a huge, dire spider (although we only see her shadow. Also Uncle Jerry, Leader of the Red Fire Ants.
* DeadpanSnarker: Creepie. Maybe the fact that she seems rather goth helps.
* DeanBitterman: Who else? ''Ms. Monseratte''
* DifferentAsNightAndDay: Creepie and Chris-Alice
* DoorstopBaby: Creepie's "origin".
* DumbBlonde: Melanie
* ExplosiveBreeder: Vincent and Caroleena have ''lots'' of...um, children.
** Most, if not ''all'' of them are a very diverse array of insects, so they're adopted at best. Plus, he's a mosquito and she's a Praying Mantis...
* FakeBand: In Season 2, Episode 8: "Going For Brogue", The 3 Goth Kids formed their own rockband calling themselves "Plaid Vapors", with Raven the guitarist, Misery the pianist, & Morpheus the drummer. Their chance to play at the school dance may have got canceled due to it's bagpipers gone batty, but believe it or not their 1st gig was a huge success. This was in large part in their friend Creepie Creecher & her mastery of the bagpipes, Raven Mcfadden herself was so proud of her that night. What she also told Creepie that the bagpipes itself contain the ghost of her great great great great great grandfather Angus Mcfadden, born in Scotland no doubt.
* FantasyKitchenSink: Ghosts, aliens, living dolls, haunted bagpipes, mythological creatures.
* FlyCrazy: Gnat
* FunnyForeigner : Ms. Monseratte
* GentleGiant: Budge
* GiantSpider: Aunt Rose
** Also Marge, Skipper's (presumedly) adopted mother.
* {{Goth}}: Creepie also has a cadre of goth friends/acquaintances. None are really portrayed negatively.
* HalfHumanHybrid: subverted with Tarantula boy/Skipper, who seems to be half spider, half human, but he's just a normal boy with a costume.
* HappilyAdopted
* HauntedHouse: Creepie's house
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Not a couple per se, but Budge and Creepie qualify.
* InstantFanClub: "The Return of Tarantula Boy", when Melanie, Carla, and several other kids know of Creepie's date with Tarantula Boy.
* IntellectualAnimal: Both Vincent and Caroleena.
* InterspeciesRomance: Creepie's dad Vincent is a mosquito, while her mom Caroleena is a praying mantis.
* MultiColoredHair: Creepie Creecher and Raven Mcfadden
* NewTransferStudent: "Wanna Bee"
* NightmareFetishist: Creepie, Raven, Misery & Morpheus, & Tarantula boy/Skipper. "How Wicked is that?"
* NoSocialSkills: Chris-Alice was shocked after Creepie admitted the truth behind her talking to inanimate objects excuse, unfortunately Ms. Monseratte ''[[CassandraTruth didn't believe in her story]]'' and she had to visit the principal's office for therapy.
** This is never brought up again. Chris-Alice must be convinced it was due to her stress over the school event.
* OddFriendship: It's unknown why Creepie and Chris-Alice are friends, having clashing personalities and hardly anything in common.
** Not to mention Chris-Alice hates bugs and her dad is the local bug exterminator.
*** You know what they say about keeping your enemies close.
**** [[Film/ThePrincessBride My name is Creepie Creecher. You killed my father. Prepare to die.]]
* OfficialCouple: Creepie and two-episoder Skipper (aka Tarantula Boy)
* ThePatriarch: Vincent
* PerkyGoth: Creepie. She's not that perky, but not so mopey either.
* PunnyName: Chris-Alice
* RealAfterAll: All. The. Time.
* RealMenWearPink: Budge wanted to be a cheerleader. However, he should conform with being the team pet (No, not ''that'' TeamPet)
* ScaryBlackMan: When Budge is introduced in the first episode, he appears to be this, but is quickly subverted.
* SecretKeeper: Bugde. Eventually, Creepie also tried to confide in Chris-Alice, but...well, see NoSocialSkills.
* ShallowLoveInterest: Skipper for Creepie. At first she was only interested in him because she thought he was a half-spider hybrid and she lost all interest in him once she found out he wasn't. Then later she became interested in him again only because his adoptive mother is a spider.
** They have something in common after all, since they're both raised by bugs. Even before she found out, she had fun on their second date.
* ShoutOut: The ''Tarantula Boy'' movie trailer is somewhat similar to ''Film/{{Spider-Man}}''.
* SternTeacher: Ms. Monseratte, She's always spying on Creepie and the other students at Middlington Middle School and is a stickler for rules. She's obsessed with cleanliness. She will usually hand out a detention slip if a student even so much as ''accidentally'' bump into her. Creepie's homeroom teacher, Dr. Pappas like Ms. Monseratte is stern too.
* StrongAnts: The Red Fire Ants, led by Creepie's Uncle Jerry
* ThreeAmigos: Creepie, Chris-Alice, and Budge.
** The school ''goth'' kids: Raven, Misery, and Morpheus, Creepie's other best friends of course.
* TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation
* TheWormThatWalks: In one episode, a teacher (or someone of the like) had to visit Creepie's home. In an attempt to appear "normal", Creepie's bug family crammed into a bathrobe, with a speaker attatched, and called themselves her "mom".
