In #8, the distance and the (magnitude of displacement) are equal, because he crawled in a straight line.

Displacement = (straight-line distance from start-point to end-point) in the direction from start to end, regardless of what route was actually followed.

Displacement = 5m, in the negative direction.

In #9 . . . distance will be the same.  Displacement is going to be the same magnitude, but in the positive direction.

This is so simple that it's hard to talk about.  

In #8, "What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.".  "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters backwards."

In #9, What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.".  "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters forward."
