“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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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!
