Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many parts to its body does an insect have?

Answer: Three

Insects have a head, a thorax and an abdomen. They also have three pairs of legs and some, but not all, have wings.

2. Are spiders insects?

Answer: No

Spiders have eight legs and only two parts to their body. This is because the head and thorax are joined on a spider's body.

3. When do spiders fly?

Answer: As babies, to find a new home.

When spiders hatch out of their eggs, they spin themselves a long, silk line. They fly when the breeze carries them away to a new home, which may be a long way away.

4. Why do bees dance?

Answer: To tell other bees where to find food.

When a honey bee finds food it needs a way of telling the other bees how to find it too. The number of wiggles in the dance and the direction the bee points tells the other bees exactly where to go. This is one way bees have of talking to each other.

5. Which creep-crawlie's house is made out of paper?

Answer: Wasp

The paper wasp's nest is made by the wasp chewing up bits of wood taken from plants and even old fence posts. This mixture is then spread in thin layers to make the nest.

6. Which creepy-crawlie scares its enemies with its bottom?

Answer: Australian hawkmoth caterpillar

The Australian hawkmoth caterpillar's bottom looks like a fierce face with two bright circles for eyes. It waves this at enemies, such as birds, to frighten them away.

7. Why do beetles have two pairs of wings?

Answer: One pair to fly and one to protect their body.

A beetle's second pair of wings is like a suit of armour for them and it will cover and protect them. When the beetle is scuttling around on the floor its more delicate wings, used for flying, are hidden and protected beneath the stronger "armoured" wings.

8. How do grasshoppers make their chirruping sound?

Answer: They use their body.

The meadow grasshopper plays its body like a violin, using its back leg like a bow which it scrapes along its wing. This loud chirruping sound can be heard in many gardens on a hot summer day.

9. Can a swarm of army ants kill large animals?

Answer: Yes

A swarm of army ants can be up to twenty million strong. They have no home and live on the move, eating anything that gets in their way, and that can include people.

10. What are people who study insects called?

Answer: Entomologists

The proper name for someone who studies insects is an entomologist, although I have heard them called things like bug-guys in movies! Entomologists can travel all around the world learning about insects and trying to protect them.
