LADYBUGS
By Myaisha (age 5)
Ladybugs are insects. They have 6 legs. Ladybugs
have 3 body parts. A ladybug's wings are symmetrical. Ladybugs fly with their inner wings. Ladybugs eat
aphids. Some ladybugs are red and black, but not all. Ladybugs protect themselves by flipping over and squirting
stuff. Ladybugs have a life cycle: egg, grub, pupa, then ladybug. Some ladybugs live in trees. Ladybugs
love to eat aphids.

Animals are cuddly,
Animals are snuggly.
Animals are cute,
Animals give a hoot.
