The Bug Challenge
My daughter and I were noticing all the bugs outside and inside our home. We found a lot of interesting insects! Check out the ones we took pictures of! How many bugs can you take pictures of and name…
Here is a caterpillar we found on the front porch. We found out that caterpillars…
- Eat plants
- Turn into butterflies or moths
- Have 12 eyes
- Have 4000 muscles!
And when we were playing outside we found a moth way up high. I had to lift Lucciana up to see it.
We found out that:
- Moths only live for about a year
- Some moths don’t have mouths
- Most moths only come out at night
- There are over 160,000 different kinds of moths!
This next picture we took while going on our walk. It’s a beetle! We talked about how we can take pictures of insects but we don’t want to disturb them so we can’t touch them.
We found out that:
- Adult beetles have two sets of wings.
- Most adult beetles have body armor to protect from predators.
- Some beetles can glow in the dark!
The last bug we found on the front porch was kind of scary…It’s a wheel bug.
We found out that:
- Wheel bugs are also called assassin bugs.
- Wheel bugs have painful bites.
- They are predators to pests and help gardens grow.
- Wheel bugs are very shy.
Stay curious everyone!
