The Frankley School Bug Show

Slugs and snails use their body to move. You could find one in the bush. They are all bugs that have no back bone. A snail has a shell. They are a mollusc. They like to eat worms.

The White Tail spider often hides in clothing and shoes, especially if they have been left lying on the floor. As White Tails eat many other kinds of spiders one sign that White Tail spiders are sharing your house is that there are few cobwebs and there are no other spiders to be found.

Centipedes have poisonous claws so they can protect themselves. Centipedes are hunted by birds, ants, beetles and spiders. They also protect themselves from these predators by curling up into a ball.

Centipede: A centipede has little chopped up body parts that are squished together. Ant: Like a lot of bugs, an ant has three body parts. The parts are head, thorax and abdomen. Ants have a hard excokeleton which means their bones are on the outside of their body. Spider: Unlike insects, spiders only have two main body parts. A head and thorax (stuck together) and an abdomen (stomach).

A butterfly sees you through its&nbsp;12,000 eyes!!

You might need a magnifying glass to look at an insect's eyes! Bugs have all different types of eyes, not like ours. For example an ant has two eyes, but they also have smaller "eye"s in the top of their heads, to look at light and their world around them.

They have long bodies and they make homes in the shade so birds can't see them. So even though they are small they have heaps of legs. Centipedes are clever creatures because they know how to curl up in a ball to protect themselves.

Worms worms are slippery they are also invertebrates. they have no legs. They drag their body to move along the ground. Their predators are birds, seagulls, and snails. They eat grass and dirt because they are moving down in the ground

Flies Flies can fly but when they go in the rubbish can and sit on yucky stuff you could get sick. Flies have six legs. Flies like to eat blood and like being anywhere where it is damp and moist for them.

There are lots of different types of beetles. To avoid being attacked by predators, beetles have many ways to defend themselves, such as camouflage.

Centipedes have long segmented bodies. They are mostly coloured brown. They have many legs and they can grow up to 2.5cm long.

Centipedes like to eat spiders, worms and other Arthropods.

The White Tail spider’s like to live under dry bark and plants, but they will often be found inside houses, where they look for shelter from the light after hunting at night. They are also known to move indoors in the winter to seek shelter from the cold and there they find plenty of their favourite prey; grey house spiders.

Spiders Spiders have 8 legs. Some spiders go in the dark.the diet are the fly, dragon fly and Spiders but the Spiders kill each other. You might find a white tailed spider in the Frankley Bush. A tunnel web spider will hide in the ground under the dirt. Where are they found?
