Beetles and spiders and flies, oh my! Two adorable little friends literally bugged out together for their fifth birthdays. The moms celebrated their sons with all things outdoors and bugs.

Insect lovers will go buggy over this boy’s sixth birthday bug themed party. If you aren’t a bug lover, some of the clever ideas might actually make your skin crawl, but don’t squirm away from fabulous refreshments including Jello larvae petri dish treats! On top of all of the creative snacks, this mom also decked out their house with bug themed printables and a gorgeous multicolored circle garland hung from the ceiling.
5. Hungry Caterpillar Push Up Pop Cakes
Not only are these little guys cute, they are also incredibly yummy. Blogger and baker teamed up to bring the vision to life for these amazing very hungry caterpillar push cakes.

These look wonderful displayed on a birthday dessert table.
