Insects are incredible! Let’s go on an insect adventure!
Hello! I’m a praying mantis. I can turn my head almost all the way around to spot anything sneaking up on me. Pretty handy, right?
I can see you. But can you see me? I’m right here, tucked behind the leaves.
Praying mantis are good at hiding.
What about now?
Ask: How is the praying mantis blending in?
When I hunt, I use my long, spiky front legs to grab my food fast.
Ask: What do you think the praying mantis is about to eat?
I am a jewel bug. I use my spit to drink plant juice! Slurp!
Hello! We are honey bees. We also use our grippy, grippy legs to collect food and bring it back to our hive to make honey.
I am a carpenter bee! I have hairy legs and my wings look extra pretty in the sunlight!
Hi! I am a butterfly. Did you know I can taste and smell with my feet?
Hello! I’m a firefly. I can make my very own light and glow!
Ask: What was your favorite insect to learn about?
Thank you for exploring our special insect world today!
