An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Initially, the Bug Van was adorned with an elaborate, comical giant flying ant sculpture on its roof (complete with flapping wings), in line with the more light-hearted nature of Switek and Zito in early episodes. It was also labelled with logos for the fictitious Bug Busters company, designed to give the surveillance van the appearance of being owned by a pest control business, thereby helping it "hide in plain sight" whilst on operations.

abstract	Initially, the Bug Van was adorned with an elaborate, comical giant flying ant sculpture on its roof (complete with flapping wings), in line with the more light-hearted nature of Switek and Zito in early episodes. It was also labelled with logos for the fictitious Bug Busters company, designed to give the surveillance van the appearance of being owned by a pest control business, thereby helping it "hide in plain sight" whilst on operations. For the start of season 3, the van's appearance was dramatically scaled back, with the removal of the roof ornament and the custom paint scheme and logos. The new, plain van was far more in line with the dark tone the show had adopted, and fit better with the more serious portrayals of Switek and Zito from this point onwards. After Zito's death in "Down for the Count (Part I)", Switek took to reading magic trick books when he was on operations in the Bug Van, as his partner was never replaced on the show. The van usually stayed at a distance from the main action owing to its nature as a surveillance vehicle. However, it did occasionally become more actively involved, most notably when it was stolen by Izzy Moreno in "Bought and Paid For"; Switek and Zito soon recovered it, and used the threat of prosecution for its theft as just another means of coaxing valuable information out of Izzy.
