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.
