The mean bugs are mean because they are chasing the little girl (presumably to sting her, perhaps). They are mean because mean can mean “cruel” or “unkind" or “unfriendly”.

The buggy bug is buggy because he is in the boy’s hair. To “bug” someone is to bother or irk that person, so “buggy” can be defined as “bothersome” or “annoying.”
