Spiders
Spiders have eight
scuttling legs. They
range from pinhead-sized
to ones that are
bigger than your
hand! Spiders make
sticky webs to
catch prey such
as insects.
Woodlice
Cheesy bug and butchy
boy are alternative names
for woodlice. They are
crustaceans, like shellfish.
Insects
Insects have six legs and
their bodies are divided into
three parts. Many insects live
underground. Bumblebees
sleep in soil over winter.
Some cicadas
spend their
first 17 years
below ground.
Prey step on the
webbed tunnels of some
spiders. The web vibrates
so the spider knows
they are there.
Woodlice roll into a
ball for protection
from predators.
Woodlice like to
nibble rotting
wood and leaves.
