Water world A pond, lake, or river is a perfect place to watch bugs.

Some insects, such as dragonflies, spend much of their lives as larvae under the water. Others buzz, hover, and swoop above the water, or lay their eggs on plants around the edge. All change Bugs are incredible creatures because they go through an amazing change to become adults. Its called metamorphosis, a Greek word that means to change shape. Insects are the ultimate transformers of the animal kingdom - changing not just their appearance, but their lifestyles, and even habitats. Beastly bugs Forget lions, wolves, and sharks - the micro world of bugs is just as ferocious and deadly.

Bugs need to eat, and while many of them munch plants, others have lethal weapons to trap, catch, and kill. Body Basics Insects belong to a group of animals called arthropods. An insects body is divided into three sections or parts: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. There are three pairs of legs. Most insects have wings. Record breakers! Bugs come in all shapes and sizes.

Explore some extreme and extraordinary bugs, from the worlds biggest creepy-crawlies to the breathtaking beauty of giant butterflies. Defend or die Bugs use some extremely clever tricks to avoid being eaten - from stink bombs to cunning disguises. These survival strategies can save a bugs life, so it doesnt become a juicy snack for predators, such as other invertebrates, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Sensational bugs Our senses connect us to the world, telling us whats going on and where everything is. Bugs have senses, too. Family and friends Bugs may be small, but some types work together to rival the power and intelligence of larger animals.
