Synopsis
Squirt wants to play Sky Chiefs with Shimmer and Dragon, but he gets left behind because he can't fly. Determined to be a flying superhero, he makes himself flying gear with leaves, dandelion seeds and hummingbird wings. Before long, he is transformed into superhero Captain Sunny Patch, and he flies around trying to do good deeds. When he tries to teach a nervous Wiggle to surf a web, he throws on his Captain Sunny Patch wings and helmet, but a gust of wind sweeps Squirt into the Snakey Woods. Wiggle doesn't get the courage to surf home and runs instead! As Squirt flies back toward Sunny Patch, he notices smoke on the horizon. He warns almost everyone, but when he heads to Hollow Tree to warn Wiggle, he gets caught in a bush. Wiggle gets up the courage up to surf a web and save Squirt, and they make it back safely to Taddy Puddle. Everyone is safe, thanks to Captain Sunny Patch and his sidekick Wiggle Webwalker!

Production notes
A lush series about Miss Spider, her family, and a world filled with bugs of all shapes, sizes and colors. The series encourages kids to appreciate the differences in others and promotes acceptance as it takes pre-schoolers on pint-sized adventures in a big-little bug world. Home to Bounce, Squirt, Shimmer and Dragon, in addition to a fascinating assortment of hoppers, flyers and creepy crawlers, Sunny Patch is a whimsical, miniature land of delight that is a metaphor for a child's world. Filled with natural splendor and new buggy friends, the show allows young children to get in touch with their own "inner bug."
