Not all the tiny creatures you see creeping and crawling and flying are truly bugs. When somebody says, "Ooh, look
at the bug!" he might be pointing at a beetle with six legs, or a spider with eight legs, or a centipede with many legs.
Or he might be pointing at a stink bug, which belongs to the only family scientists call bugs. But let's call them all
bugs to make it easier.
If you watch a bug as it goes along about its business, you can find out what a bug's world is like. You can see what
kind of legs and wings and feelers it has and how they work, and you can hear the noises it makes.
If you wait and watch long enough, you may even see it creep out of the hard, stiff suit of armor that all bugs wear,
and walk off in the new and bigger suit that has been growing, all wrinkled, underneath the old one.
If you wait still longer, you might see how a bug's young are born and how they grow up. Perhaps you may even find
out who its enemies are.
Bugs are so small that it is hard to imagine they can be strong enough to fight their enemies. But some of them can
run or jump quickly, while others can fly away.
A bug may have a sting, to sting its enemies, or strong jaws to bite them. Some bugs can run or jump quickly, while
others can fly away. Even so, lots of bugs are killed. But there are always more. There are more bugs in the world
than all the people and animals you can think of. That's mostly because bugs are born by the thousands - much
faster than their enemies can eat them up.
Bugs do not think about things or make plans as people do. They are born knowing everything they need to know
about getting food, and fighting their enemies, and building their houses.
Even a young spider builds its first web perfectly, although it may never have seen another spider web. Its mother
does not ever need to show it how. Not even scientists have figured out exactly how a bug knows these things. That
is still a bug's secret.
Sometimes people get angry at bugs. Clothes moths' chew up their swimming suits and mittens, cockroaches
crawl over dishes in the sink, potato bugs eat holes in potato vines, Japanese beetles ruin the prettiest roses and
termites chew wooden stairs in houses.
But bugs are valuable, too. After all, the honey for your waffles comes from bees, and silk for your dresses from
silkworms, and the shellac that makes your furniture shine comes from scale bugs.
Even those same termites that tunnel through wooden stairs in our houses, eat old dead wood in other places
where it is not wanted and make it part of the earth again. In that way, they save people the trouble of burning or
burying lots of rubbish, and they make room for new animals and plants as well.
No bug really intends to be harmful or useful. It just lives its own life. Now you're going to see how some bugs live,
what they eat, where they sleep, how long they live, and how they have fun.
