Butterfly
The first part of my life is spent as a
caterpillar with simple eyes and chewing
jaws. Then I form a sac around me called
a chrysalis where I slowly turn into my adult
form. When the chrysalis splits, I come out
looking very different. You can find me
fluttering with my new wings in fields
on most any sunny day.

Maybug
For an insect, my life is very complicated.
For three years I've live underground in the
form of a little worm eating the roots of plants.
Then I build a little case and sleep in it for
a while. I emerge the second time with
wings. When I fly, I make a loud
buzzing sound like a bumblebee.

Froghopper
Some people call me a spittlebug
because I make my home in a
frothy white nest. I look like a tiny
frog and if you disturb me I'll hop
away. My eggs are deposited on field
grass and hatch in the spring when
I can feed on sweet plant juices.
Who am I?
Grasshopper
You can often hear me in the fields
on a warm summer afternoon, or see
me hopping among the tall grass with
my long jointed back limbs. I have
strong jaws and can cause a lot of
damage to crops if together in a
swarm. I have four wings close to
my body and a yellow-green color.
Who am I?
Carpenter Ant
The queen of my species likes to find
a colony in dead logs or old buildings.
Then it's up to the workers to make
tunnels with our strong jaws, leaving
small piles of sawdust. Our colonies can
grow to thousands and we can destroy
whole buildings. we get our name
from the work we do with wood.

Silverfish
I am a slick and slippery little creature.
I am one of the only insects that have
no wings. I usually hide in the dark where
it is cool and damp. Watch out! I might live
in your house. I love to eat paste, so you
can blame me if your books fall apart
or if your wallpaper falls down.

Honey Bee
I may only be a half-inch long but humans
depend on me for survival. I have been
pollinating your crops for more than 4,000
years, so if anything happened to me,
hundreds of fruits and vegetables
would quickly disappear. I also
produce delicious honey.

Who am I?
Despite my name I am not a bird.
I am small but fierce warrior wasp who
hunts for much larger Tarantula spiders.
When I find them I aim for a spot on the
spiders stomach to sting and paralyze
it. The battle between us can take
a long time but I usually win.

Black Widow Spider
I am a well-known spider, who get its
name by what I do to my mate. I eat him!
This may seem cruel to you, but actually
most spiders do it. The male is useless
after mating, so the best that he can do
for his offspring is to give a good meal
to their mother. My round stomach
has a bright red spot.

Who am I?
I have long hairy legs and small eyes.
I don't live in a web like most of my species,
so I have to carry my eggs around with me
in a ball of fine silk. I am a devoted mother
and my young ride on my back for weeks
after they hatch. But when the time comes
to go they better leave fast. I may forget
who they are and eat them.
