About Bugs

Insects outnumber every other group of animals on Earth, and the names hidden here cover a wide spread of them. A beetle's hard front wings fold over its flying pair like a case. Fireflies signal with light made by a chemical reaction in the abdomen, each species flashing its own pattern. Crickets chirp by rubbing their wings together, cicadas buzz using ribbed membranes, and a caterpillar is simply a moth or butterfly still eating its way toward wings.

Reach for this during an insect or life cycle unit, or on a rainy day after a bug hunt in the yard gets called off.
