Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider and sat down beside her, and frightened Miss Muffet away.
Bugs are cool and amazing?! 🐞 Are spiders really scary? No way! Did you know that spiders are not insects? Spiders are actually arachnids which means they have eight legs instead of six and two body parts instead of three. Spiders are super helpful because they eat other bugs like flies and mosquitoes that can carry germs. There are so many different kinds of spiders. Some spiders like to live in gardens and others like to live in houses. Jumping spiders are my favorite kind of spider, they are small and fuzzy and they jump really high. Have you ever seen a spider jump?
One day I was playing outside when I saw a spider spinning a web. I watched it for a long time. It was so cool to see how it used its legs to spin the silk and create a beautiful web. I learned that spiders use their webs to catch their food. When a bug flies into the web it gets stuck and the spider wraps it up in silk and eats it later. Spiders are amazing creatures!
