THE TINY CREATURES

By Josie Whitehead
Tiny Creatures (The)
Image1.jpg

Grasshoppers and dragonflies;
    Slimy slugs and snails.
Scorpions cause harm or death
   From stings within their tails.

​

Mosquitoes kill - some spiders too.
    Most insects only hurt.
Some insects fly across the sky
   Whilst some crawl through the dirt.

​

Beetles, worms and honey bees,
   Our Planet Earth they share,
So by treating them with due respect
    You will surely show you care.

EXERCISE FOR YOU ALL:  Can you name all the minibeasts in the above pictures.  Do you know a little bit about each of them?  Do you remember which crawl on the earth, which fly, which can climb up walls, make webs - and above all, which  are dangerous to humans.  Most of them only bite you/sting if you interfere with them first of all.  Josie
