Grab the bug catcher and head outside to hunt for backyard specimens. Deposit your crickets, pill bugs, ants, ladybugs, or other creepy-crawlies in the Bug Playground and observe their behavior. How do they respond to their new environment? Which bugs get along? Which bugs eat the same things? Are some bugs friendlier than others? Observation and recording are cornerstones of science, and now you can do this in your very own bedroom.
Bug expert, David George Gordon, leads the way in the illustrated color booklet filled with facts and activities. Budding entomologists will learn facts about arthropods, exoskeletons, metamorphosis, camouflage, how bugs breathe, and more. The booklet also includes helpful tips on which bugs make well-behaved pals and which feisty and pesty bugs to avoid collecting, plus suggestions for keeping your bugs comfortable, well-fed, and happy—and even how to deal with fights.Kids who love creepy critters can turn their fascination with insects into a hobby with the Bug Playground!
