Insect Home Hunt

Postby steveG » Sun Oct 10, 2010 7:33 pm

This is incredible kid's game for all ages, that will learn the children how the insects live and what their main activities are. Even if you live in a condo building it is amazing how many insects you can find in the nearby parks and parking lots. You can look for:
    Ant homes - ants usually make their homes in cracks n the asphalte or walls, and you can see conical piles of sand and dirt. Some more activity from the ants can be provoked by candy or other sweets.
    Spider webs - there are a lot of places you can look for webs - mainly between posts or close to fence.
    Cocoons - pupal housing made by moths, caterpillars and other larvae insects
    Galls - spherical ledges cause by insects in the plants in their intention to exit the plant

And make sure you will not destroy any of their housing!!! Enjoy and share some photoes with us! ;)
