Books about bugs for toddler

Hi all, my 2.5 year old little niece is entering the stage where all bugs, spiders, ants, flies etc. are scary and she doesn't like them. I must admit, I'm also not a fan, but I know this is an irrational fear, so I try not to show my dislike and I try to reassure her that they're not scary. Does anyone know, are there any story books suitable for such a young age, where maybe the main character is a bug or a spider or something, or where bugs are specifically treated as being friendly? She's got lots of books about not being scared of the dark, so I wondered if there was anything similar out there about bugs? Thanks!

i love bugs by emma dodd and backyard bugs by Jill mcdonald might be worth a look. they both present bugs as friendly things and give fun facts about them

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. I have the version by Pam Adams, but I think there are lots available. Very easy to sing along to.
I think there is a Mr Buzz the Beeman in the Happy Families series by Allan Ahlberg.

Second Walters Web- nice short story with a message about perseverance and not giving up.
