On Monday Mr Esler came to talk to us about what sort of bugs there are, and what bugs do. We sorted out this information by putting it into a Told Us, Made Us Wonder chart:
Mr Esler told us:
If there were no bugs there would be no frogs, fantails, fruit, trout, lizards.
He explained a huhu beetles life cycle.
=egg, grub, pupae, beetle.
The huhu beetle lives for 1 week.
Butterflies and moths are different because they have different patterns on them.
Huhu beetles have no mouths and no digestive system
Moths have soft antennae.
The bees and flies we see are girls. The boy bees are called drones.
Silk come from silk spiders.
Insects help pollenate fruit plants.
Insects help us to recycle - maggots eat dead sheep and turn it into soil. Worms do this too!
Bees make honey!
We are now wondering:
How can we care about the bugs more? Jordyn
Why do wasps not die after stinging? Jessica
