Insect Coloring Pages for KidsBugs are insects that belong to the Hemiptera group. Bugs have sharp and pointed mouths. However, many people think that bugs are a group of scary insects. An example is the centipede which is a type of arthropod. That's not true because there are differences between bugs and arthropods.
Many people think that bugs and insects are the same things. However, there is a difference between them. There are also some people who think that insect is a scientific term, while the bug is a non-formal term. However, the differences go deeper than that.
Insects and bugs are two groups of the animal kingdom in the context of science. So, all bugs are insects, but not all insects are bugs. Actually, insects belong to the arthropod phylum. Some examples of these animals are the arachnid, Myriapoda, and crustacean groups. So, insects are a 'class' in the arthropod phylum.
However, insects are different from other animals in the arthropod group. So, insects have several types such as bees, stews, flies, and grasshoppers. All kinds of those animals are animals that we often see.
Meanwhile, bugs are the Hemiptera. The difference between bugs and insects is in the shape of the mouth. Bugs have mouths that are shaped like needles. The mouth is known as the proboscis.
Bugs use these mouths to suck plant juices or blood from other animals. In addition, bugs also have long wings and antennae.
If insects have 4 life stages, bugs only have 3 life stages. Those three stages are egg, nymph, and adult bug. So, bugs are animals that do imperfect metamorphosis.
Bugs also have a pair of specialized wings on their upper body. Most of the bugs have four wings. Well, true bugs don't have hind wings. However, bugs have unique colored and thick membranous wings. These special wings are connected to the bug's body.
Because bugs have many unique things and are related to science, studying bugs is important for children. So, we will also explain the fascinating world of insects: why learning about bugs is important for kids.
Children who learn about bugs will be able to learn about nature. The reason is, children will often see bug habitats so they can appreciate nature. If kids can love nature, they won't be afraid of bugs anymore.
If kids see a bug, they're informed about the best action. An example is not stepping on the bug. It is the best action that needs to be taught to children.
When children learn about bugs, they will learn science in a fun way. So, bugs will help kids to learn endless concepts.
Children can become smarter when they not only learn something in theory but also through direct practice. By learning about bugs, children will do a lot of outdoor activities and handle bugs. They also become more skilled at using binoculars, nets, and insect traps.
