Insects And Bugs - Facts for Kids

Silkworms need clean, dry conditions (surroundings) to stay healthy — wet leaves can make them sick!

Adult dung beetles carry helpful bacteria in their guts. These tiny helpers break down the tough bits in dung, turning hard plant fibers into food the beetle can use.

Some ladybug species are so tiny they only eat microscopic fungi!

Spider eggs are protected by several layers of silk that keep them warm and safe from predators!

Most butterflies only live for 2–4 weeks as adults, but some species can live up to 6–9 months!
