The World of Bugs



We made some colorful bugs at camp. Did you know these neat bug facts?
  • Mosquitoes have 47 teeth, however, they don't use them to bite.
  • Dragonflies can fly over 60 miles per hour making them one of the fastest bugs!
  • Houseflies jump backwards when they take off to fly.
  • There are 900,000 different kinds of insects in the world.
