A little bug won't bother us.

A hunter can stay out in the open and no puma or coyote or slimy bug could bother him.

The bugs didn't bother him as much as usual.

Though in fact no bugs had bothered him here; perhaps the reek of the wolfsbane kept them away.

Why had the damned bug bothered to devote the attention and energy necessary for its time-sharing tour de force, merely to argue with us about the moral merits and deficiencies of our respective positions, insult us, and pose riddles?

"It grows quickly, and the bugs don't bother it."

The bugs didn't bother them, 'cept the pol-bees, and that was okay.
