Dragonflies, Pond Skaters, and Walking Sticks, Insects are everywhere! Can you name one thing that all insects hate? The cold. That is why insects can be found all over the word, except in Antarctica. It is just too cold there for insects. Which is nice news for the penguins.
If you would like to learn more about insects (including the one under your chair) then read on.
It will be your quest as an insect investigator to research information about insects, create a booklet, answer questions, and then name and identify a new insect that you will design.
Okay investigators, it is time to continue on in your quest for the ultimate insect.
