Termites, ants, beetles, bees. They are all around us; they are all we see. They live in the deserts and your house. When you try to catch them they will run away and hide like a mouse. Ooo, they are gross and disgusting, but we don't want to imagine life without them. They feed other animals and eat some other ones too. Pollinating our plants is one of the things they like to do.

Day, Jennifer W. What is an Insect. Wisconsin: Western Publishing Company Inc., 1976.
