Did you know that
some scientists estimate there are between 15 and 30 million different species of insects
in the world? That amount makes up almost 75% of the total animal population!
In other words if you could group every animal on Earth together and pick out 100 of them
with your eyes closed, about 75 would be insects! Pretty amazing, isn't it?
Even more
interesting is that of all those insects, every family has different characteristics and
different lifestyles. There are different kinds of wings, antennae, legs, eyes, you
name it! In this activity, you will learn about the different types of mouths that
insects have and will even be able to experience eating like an insect!
