It’s summer. Insects(昆虫) are everywhere. Let’s look for them!

Do you know?

A spider is not an insect because it has eight legs.

Hello,I’m Firefly. I like to fly in the sky on warm summer nights. I can light up. My friends and I use our lights to communicate(溝通). Our lights can be yellow,orange or green. I’m a female(雌性) firefly. I have one “bulb(灯泡)”. A male(雄性) firefly has two “bulb”. So his light is brighter than my light.

Do you know?

Most fireflies eat snails(蜗牛).

Crickets(蟋蟀) and grasshoppers(蚂蚱) look a lot alike(相似的). Their back legs are long and strong. Long legs help them jump far. But they are different. Crickets have long antennas(触角). Their antennas are longer than their bodies. Grasshoppers have shorter antennas.

Hi there! I’m Cicada. My hobby is singing. I can sing the loudest out of all the land(陆地) insects. You can hear my song from far away. When I’m a baby,I sleep underground(在地下) for many years. When I come out,I only live from about 2 weeks to 40 days. So I’d better hurry to sing.

Ladybugs are very small. Most of them are orange or red in color. There are black spots(斑点) on their back. Farmers like ladybugs because most of them eat pests(害虫). One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 pests in its lifetime!

Hum,hum,I’m Mosquito. I like dark and wet places. Mosquito mothers bite(咬) you and drink your blood(血). After the meal,they can produce(生产) food for their babies. I’m a male(雄性) mosquito. I don’t drink your blood. I often drink flower juice.

Hey,I’m a dragonfly. I have two big compound eyes(復眼) on my head. I can see very well. And I can see in all directions(方位). I can see you when I’m flying towards you. And I can still see you when I’m flying away from you. So it’s hard to catch me!

Look at all the different insects! Can you match them all?
