Bugs and Creepy Crawlers
Bugs – they’re all around us. In fact, over 90% of all the animals on earth are bugs, but what exactly are they? “Bug” is a slang word that includes six-legged insects like bees, butterflies, and beetles, and eight-legged arachnids like spiders, mites, and ticks.
Dive into the world of bugs and enjoy videos and downloads of buggy activities, including bee tracking, spying on spiders, trapping ticks, and uncovering rock dwellers. This is your chance to explore, observe, and catalog the creepy but fascinating world of bugs in and around your own home.
