Inconspicuously.

It‘s　rarely　observed　around　gas　stations.　Because　it　doesn’t　often　need　gas.　(It　gets　around　27　miles　to　a　gallon.)　It　doesn‘t　often　need　tires.　(It　gets　around　40,000miles　to　a　set.)　And　it　never　goes　near　the　water.　(A　Volkswagen’s　engine　is　cooled　by　air　instead　of　water,　which　means　it　doesnt　need　anti-freeze　either.)

As　you　can　see,　the　care　and　feeding　of　a　bug　doesn‘t　amount　to　much.　So　even　though　it　isn’t　one　of　those　real　wild　jungle　animals,　it　makes　an　ideal　house　pet.

That　explains　how　2　little　bugs　who　came　to　America　in　1949　multiplied　into　2,000,000.
