11. The Bug Collection
by Andrew Frinkle
Peter had to do a bug collection for school. He was required to get several
different Orders of bugs, and at least one Species of each of those Orders. Orders
were groups of similar bugs, and Species were specific examples. There were 29
different Orders of bugs in the world, but most bugs came from four common
groups, while the others could be quite rare.
He knew if he could catch about ten Species of bugs from four different
Orders, he’d get a good grade. So, he went outside with his bug net and caught a
Yellow Cabbage Butterfly almost right away! That was a member of the Order
Lepidoptera, which included all the butterflies and moths. He caught several
more butterflies and moths over the next few hours, including a swallowtail
butterfly and a moth almost the size of his hand that had been hiding on a tree,
blending in. He’d have to look it up in a book later to see what kind it was.
12. The second Order he found was Orthoptera. This was the group of
bugs that included grasshoppers and crickets. He caught a black
cricket under the rose bushes, and then snagged a big fat green locust
flying through the yard. It was hard to catch that one, because it flew
so fast.
Hymenoptera was the next Order he found, but it wasn’t that hard.
There was a whole anthill filled with fire ants by the back porch, and
there were black ants in the driveway. Then he found a dead wasp in a
spider’s web near the barn. Those were both in the same group of
insects.
13. After that, it got harder. He got down on his hands and knees and
crawled through the grass, eventually finding a ladybug. Those were in
the Order Coleoptera. He didn’t find any other beetles, though. He did
find a spider, but that didn’t count. Spiders were Arachnids, creatures
with eight legs. Insects were only supposed to have six legs. Regardless,
he could not keep the spider for his collection. He saw a dragonfly, but
it was too fast, and that meant he didn’t have a member of Order
Odonata.
He got lucky and found a walking stick before he gave up for the
day. That was a rare member of the Order Phasmida, which included
camouflaging bugs like leaf bugs and stick bugs. It seemed like he’d
get a pretty good grade after all!

15. The Structure of the Flower
The lower and outermost part of a flower are the sepals. They are
usually green. They look like leaves. They form the protective covering
of the flower when it is still a bud.
Above the sepals are the petals. Petals often have bright colors
because they attract insects. Growing just above and within the circle
of petals are the stamens. Each stamen has a long stem like part called
filament. At the top of the filament is another which is filled with
yellow or reddish dust-like grains called pollen.
The innermost part of the flower is the pistil which has three parts –
the stigma, the style and the large base called ovary. Within the ovary
are small structures called ovules. Seeds develop from the ovules.
