Next, use the push-pin to punch a little hole in the bottom corner
of the bag. Don't drip! Try to drink the water through this hole. Hard,
isn't it? This is called a piercing-sucking mouth type and insects like stink bugs
use this method to get their nutrients. |

Have you ever wondered how a fly eats when it lands on your
sandwich? Well, flies have a mouth type called sponging. To eat like a fly,
pour a little water into your dish or bowl and wet your sponge. Try to drink as much
water from the sponge as you can. This is what flies do! |

5. To eat like a butterfly, you'll need your straw. Butterflies and
moths have long tube-like mouth parts that let them reach way into a flower to drink the
nectar . . . kind of like a straw! This is called a siphoning mouth type. So
now it's your turn. Use your straw to eat like a butterfly and take a big sip!

Finally, it's time for the chewing gum! Probably the most
basic mouth type is chewing. It is used by many insects including beetles. So
pop a piece of gum in your mouth and see how it feels to eat like a beetle! |
