Ladybugs and alligators cartoon

[Xerus]

I remember one cartoon they used to show a lot during the old days was this. We see a sky with some grass and flowers and then we look down and see a ladybug. Then some more ladybugs started coming from different directions and a narrator started adding them until there were 5 bugs. Then we see 5 eggs hatching and out came 5 alligators. Then the alligators started to disappear by either going back in their shells, in the water, in the grass, or up a tree while the narrator subtracted them until there was only one gator left. Then the gator spotted the same 5 ladybugs. The bugs started to fly away leaving one left. And the alligator approached the poor ladybug and tried to eat it. But luckily, the bug got away and we look back up at the same grass and flowers from the beginning.

I always thought this cartoon was both beautiful and creepy at the same time. The spooky narrator voice, the whispering numbers, the creepy music, the scene were we zoom into the gator's eye and see the bugs, and the ladybug survival ending. I just wonder who made this freaky cartoon?

I believe this cartoon was made around 1971.

Sesame Street's cartoons were very psychedelic back then. God knows how the artists thought these ideas up.
