My garden

• I have lots of bugs in my garden!• Some in trees.• Some on the floor.• And some under the bird bath.

Under the bird

bath?

Wasps• I have wasps in my garden.• Here are some facts:• Wasps look like bees, but they don’t produce

honey.• Wasps create their nest out of wood and mud.• Wasps are inactive at night as long as the sun has

not risen.• wasps will usually be found in their nests.• They lay eggs first to help the queen increase the

population but eventually become sterile when there are enough wasps in the nest.

• Wasps are very aggressive from August to October .• There are hundreds of species of wasps in the UK,

the majority of which feed their young (larvae) on other insects.

• There are only eight species of social wasp.

Snails• I have snails in my garden• Here are some facts:• Snails are one of the earliest known types of animals

in the world. All snails are classified as mollusks because of the hard shell that protects their bodies.

• Many people confuse slugs as snails but they aren’t in the same category due to the fact that they don’t have shells.

• The largest land snail recorded weighed only 2 pounds and was 15 inches long.

• As snails move they leave behind slime. • Some people love snails and find them to be very

fascinating.Ewww yucky slim!

Spiders

• I have spiders in my garden• Here are some facts:• Spiders’ silk webs are known for their

strength as well as elasticity.• Luckily, spiders are born with almost no

colour, making them nearly invisible in the air.

• A Frenchman, Bon De Saint-Hilaire, showed it was possible to make fabric from spider silk.

• Spiders rarely bite people (unless provoked), so you should not fear daily encounters with deadly spiders.
