Professor H. M. Wogglebug, T.E. This wogglebug was a remarkable creature.

As the books describe them

He seemed fully as tall as the Wizard, and was dressed in a red and white checked vest and a blue swallow-tailed coat, and had yellow knee breeches and purple silk stockings upon his slender legs. A tall hat was jauntily set upon his head and he wore spectacles over his big bright eyes. The Emerald City of Oz, ch. 9
He had once been a tiny little bug, crawling around in a school-room, but he was discovered and highly magnified so that he could be seen more plainly, and while in this magnified condition he had escaped. The Emerald City of Oz, ch. 5
