MILWAUKEE - (KRT) - Antoni, an ant living in ancient Egypt, faces a hard choice in his life. A cockroach named Roderick has humiliated him at the annual bug picnic, and Antoni plans revenge. Should the ant catapult slime onto the low-down roach - or forgive him?

Meanwhile, Joseph - governor of Egypt in the world of humans around Antoni - is wrestling with similar emotions.

Those are scenes, and one of the themes, from a new Bible-based video series created by a West Allis, Wis., company that is generating an international buzz. Lightning Bug Flix uses animated insects such as Antoni and Roderick in its "Bugtime Adventures" series to convey Biblical stories and values.
