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.
Spiders are terrific! Did you know that spiders are not insects? Spiders have 8 legs, while insects only have 6. Spiders have 2 body parts and insects have 3. Spiders don’t have antennae and insects do. Cool right?! Spiders are arachnids, just like scorpions and ticks. Spiders are super helpful because they eat other bugs that could cause a lot of trouble if they were not around! So next time you see a spider, don't be scared. Just say Hi!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout. Down came the rain, and washed the spider out. Out came the sunshine, and dried up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.
Spiders are amazing builders! Did you know that there are over 49,000 different species of spiders and that almost all of them make silk? Silk is a thin, strong strand made of protein. The silk comes out of the spinnerets at the end of the spider’s abdomen. Spiders use their silk to spin webs! Webs are sticky traps used to catch prey! The spider waits for an insect to get stuck in its web and then wraps the insect up so that it can eat it later!

Ladybug Ladybug
Ladybug, ladybug fly away home, your house is on fire and your children are gone. All except one, and that's little Ann, for she crept under the frying pan.
Ladybugs are beetles! They are sometimes called ladybird beetles. Ladybugs have a hard exoskeleton to protect their delicate wings and body. They also have chewing mouthparts. Ladybugs start out as tiny eggs that are usually yellow or orange. The eggs hatch into larvae which kind of looks like a tiny alligator! The larvae eat and grow until they form a pupa. The pupa hangs upside down and doesn’t move or eat. Inside the pupa, the ladybug is changing! After about a week, the pupa breaks open and a ladybug emerges. Cool right?! Ladybugs are important because they eat aphids and other bugs that eat plants and crops. Farmers love ladybugs!
