Amazing bug facts
A firefly is
not really a fly.
It is a beetle.
The digger wasp
paralyzes a caterpillar,
then lays an egg on top
of it and buries them both in a hole.
When the baby wasp hatches,
it doesn’t have to go out
looking for a caterpillar to eat.
(Yummy!)
Dragonflies can fly as
fast as 60 miles per hour.
(This makes them a little
difficult to study,
since in many states an
entomologist can
only go 55!)
Many insects
mimic or copy other
insects! For instance,
a fly might be yellow
and black like a hornet.
This way its enemies
leave it alone.
A spider is
not really an
insect. It is an
arachnid.
