Little Insects Little Bugs

Nature's small insects cute and rude Garden blooms gathering food Butterflies' sweet nectar seeks, Beneath sun's outstretched blond streaks Where, yet a spider does hide Silvery web shadows bide Night is flashing lighting bugs Tall grass leaves their heartfelt hugs Dragonfly's wings weave and fades Sunlight shining rainbow shades Termites creeping in woodwork Silent destroyers as they lurk Beetle strength squirms in its murk Fine powder they scratch and chirk Cicadas incessant whining Shedding its clear shell lining Mosquito's blood hungry dining Ill for which I've been pining Cricket's chirp amid tall sheaves Hidden inside curling leaves A ladybug among a rose Sweet aroma zephyr blows Tiny creatures bombinate Among flowers as they ate 1/18/2022 'Insects' Contest Info Sponsor Angela Tune All bugs are insects but, all insects are not bugs. True bugs belong to the order Hemiptera under the class Insecta. The main difference between bugs and insects is that bugs are the insects having proboscis, which can be used to suck food whereas insects have other mouthparts adapted for chewing or sponging.
