Tiger Beetle

Tiger beetles larvae live in vertical burrows. They hang out at the top and wait for their prey. Once caught they take it to the bottom of the burrow and eat it. Tiger beetles can be found in the daytime. They eat ants. My sister and I fed some ants to them.

The Jewel Beetle and the Weaver Ant

The jewel beetle and the weaver ant went for a race up a tree. They stood at the starting line and when the snail waved the flag they were off. The jewel beetle was in last place because the weaver ant had wove the jewel beetle's legs together, but the jewel beetle was to strong he broke the weaver ants work and the jewel beetle won the race by miles
The End.

Earwigs

Earwigs live and hide under stones and logs and piles of leaves. You might find as many as 100 under one log. Earwigs like to eat rotting fruit, vegetables and plants. The earwigs have a good chance of survival.
People used to believe that earwigs crawled into people's ears and made holes in their eardrums.
Earwigs are not suitable for crawling long distances. They often get from one place to another by hitchhiking in clothing, paper, wood, cars and all sorts!

Ladybirds

Ladybirds eat a lot of greenflies and a lot of other garden pests. The ladybirds are a big help to us.
The female ladybirds lay their eggs in batches up to 100-200. She lays them on the undersides of leaves.

Water Scorpion

Its called this because it looks like a scorpion and lives in water. But it is not a real scorpion.
It moves very slowly, crawling along the bottom of ponds and lakes. They can also swim.
Water scorpions grab their prey and suck their guts out using their tube-like mouth.

Peg Bugs

These are my bugs that I made out of pegs and pipe cleaners and pens to colour them in. I made some for Julian.
