That's interesting. And bugs can be either frightening or just annoying, depending on circumstance.
I also didn't realize that "bugs" as in "Bugs Bunny" meant "crazy"...

“bugsy” came from comparisons to someone who’d been driven insane by bugs. To call someone “bugs,” or refer to a person as “bugsy” was to call them crazy, or unstable.
