After Grady, all characters think she is dead, in other words “buried”. She did all this by herself and proved that she was strong like a doodlebug (this is her “larva stage”). She was able to fight against the bad cops and the walkers, and helped Noah escape from Grady. Later, the prison arc and the time she spent with Daryl taught her survival skills that helped her protect herself and others in Grady’s arc. In that part of season two, we could say that she was actually in her “egg stage” because she wasn’t strong enough and needed to be protected. In this theory, Beth could represent the “antlion”. This cocoon stays there for a month until it completes its TRANSFORMATION into an sexually mature insect that flies outside the pit.It is also important to hightlight that sometimes they can take several years to complete their lifecycle. When the larva attains its maximum size (after 1 or 3 years), it undergoes metamorphosis making a cocoon BURIED several centimeters deep in the sand. Sometimes their sources of food are scarce but they can survive without it for long periods. Then, when the eggs hatch, each LARVA (doodle bug) digs an individual funnel-shaped pit in the sand (whose surface resembles a spiral or doodle) where they wait for their prey to fall and drag it into the pit (they are extremely hostile to ants, hence the name “antlion”). The female antlion lays her eggs in the sand. Why is this insect so important in relation to Beth? Well, first just read the following information about its life cycle: Aren’t you you doodle-bug? (to Beth)Īnyway, I looked for the meaning of the word “doodlebug” and found that it is the larva of an insect called “antlion”. Hershel: She seems to be in good spirits today. Hershel: Doodle-bug, doodle-bug, go away home.

To provide a little context, this the transcription of the original scene: The image had a transcription of the song and since I watched most episodes of season 2 in Spanish, my mother tongue, I found it really interesting-especially because in the Spanish version they used a different song and I didn’t know the meaning of the word “doodlebug”. It was the scene in which Hershel recites a rhyme to Beth, who was in bed recovering after trying to cut her wrists.
The other day I found a gif on my dash of a scene from episode 11, season 2.
