A Bug's Life - Bedtimeshortstories
This is the short story of A Bug’s Life. In the tiny world of ants amongst the grass, the clover and dandelions, Princess Atta was feeling very happy. This season she was in charge of the annual harvest for her kingdom. Everything was going very smoothly. Every year, the ants had to gather food for the grasshopper gang. The gang was very mean; they hardly ever left any food for the poor ants.
All of a sudden, the alarm started ringing. It could have meant only one thing. The grasshopper gang had arrived. They had come early this time. The ants were very scared and they scattered hurriedly. Their queen helped them hide in the ant hill.

Filk, their community’s crazy inventor was the last one to enter the hill. He was as clumsy as he was creative. As Filk struggled out of his grain-picking machine, he knocked over the offering stone. The offering stone had all the grains that were to be given to the grasshoppers.
All the hard work of the ants slipped down a cliff and into the river.
The ants were very angry with Filk, as he had destroyed all their hard work. The scared and angry ants were standing together in a group. They heard a buzzing sound. The earth began to shake and the angry gang of grasshoppers burst into the ant’s hill!
“Where is our food?” they asked angrily. Princess Atta trembled with fear. She was not prepared to deal with this problem. Filk, slowly went up to the Princess and told her in a quiet whisper that he had not intended for the grains to fall down into the river.
Princess Atta trembled with fear. She was not prepared to deal with this problem. Filk, slowly went up to the Princess and told her in a quiet wishper that he had not intended for the grains to fall down into the river. “It was an accident!” he tried to make sense to the Princess.
The angry grasshoppers gave the ants one more chance to gather food for them and stormed out. They told the ants they’d be back soon.

Princess Atta and her mother; the Queen, were very unhappy with Flik. This meant that the ants would have to start collecting grain again. But Flik had an idea. He announced that he would look for some bugs. The bugs would help the ants to fight the evil grasshoppers.
While the rest of the ants collected grain, Flik set out. He made a journey to the city. There he would look for warrior bugs. When Flik arrived at his destination, he saw some bugs were very annoyed with some horseflies. And very soon the bugs and the horseflies started fighting.
The fight was over as quickly as it began. Bugs defeated the horseflies. Flik, who had been watching the fight, was very impressed. He asked the bugs to come fight for the ants. “Come to Ant Island, and help us,” he told the bugs.
Upon thinking about the ant’s invitation, the bugs agreed and went back to the ant hill with Flik. At that time Flik did not know that the bugs were really circus bugs and not warrior bugs!
When Flik and his companions reached Ant Island, the ants came to greet them.
“Three cheers for Flik and the warrior bugs!” they cheered.
On hearing this, the circus bugs got offended and said they were leaving. They told the ants that they were circus bugs and not warrior bugs. The Queen and Princess Atta looked very unhappy. Flik was very confused. Then Flik somehow thought of a new plan and asked the bugs to stay.
Soon the ants became busy building Flik’s newest invention- a bird. Flik was making a fake bird out of dried leaves, twigs, and some grains. This bird would be used to scare the grasshopper gang away, so they would never return.
The circus bugs were helping too. They were making a special machine that would launch the bird into the air. Soon, the grasshoppers returned. They were furious when they saw no food was at the offering stone. Hopper, the leader of the grasshopper gang was very mad.

To take revenge, Hopper, and his gang broke into the ant’s storeroom. Once inside, they started eating the ant’s food stored for the coming winters.
When the ant Queen saw this, she was very scared. She told the ants that if the grasshoppers ate all of their food, the ants would starve in the winters.
Flik had already known that the grasshoppers would do something like this. He already had a plan. While the grasshoppers ate the ant’s supplies, they heard a drumroll.
“Roll up! Roll up, everyone!” shouted the circus bugs. “Rub your legs for the greatest circus show!” they shouted at the top of their voices.
One by one, the circus bugs began to perform. They performed their best tricks before the grasshoppers. Meanwhile, Filk gathered up some ants and climbed into the fake bird. Just as the circus bugs were finishing up with their circus, Flik launched the bird. Off they flew into the air, gliding swiftly down towards the grasshoppers.
All the grasshoppers ran away, terrified. Only Hopper stayed back. Hopper had realized that the bird flying towards them was a fake one. Soon the bird crashed and the ants came out of the bird.
Hopper had been waiting for them and he was furious!
He then chased the Princess and Flik. But the ants were clever and they ran to the other side of the river. A hungry sparrow lived there. They took Hopper straight towards the sparrow’s nest!
When the sparrow saw Hopper, it came down. It waited for her chance to catch hopper. The ants had carefully chosen a spot, where the bird could not see them.
“Is this another one of your tricks?” laughed hopper. Before the grasshopper could even realize what happened, the sparrow ate it up. And that was the end of evil Hopper. The ants lived peacefully after that. Flik was thanked by all his companions. The evil grasshopper gang never bothered the ants again.

Mosquito
Guess the riddle: "Grey. With two wings. It flies - it rings. It bites painfully." The mosquito has a mustache and a proboscis on its head. The mosquito makes no sound. The ringing comes from mosquito wings. A mosquito flies, and its wings rattle thinly. It makes a call.
We don't like mosquitoes. A mosquito will sit on a person or animal, pierce the skin with its proboscis and drink the blood. Poisonous mosquito saliva will get under the skin. Because of this poison, the bite site itches for a long time. Mosquitoes fly to heat. In the evenings and at night, warm animals are easier to find. Only mosquitoes bite us. And mosquitoes drink flower nectar. Their proboscis is very thin. They will not bite through thick human skin and animal skin.

July 11, 2017 ditim Main page » Grandma's archive Views: 5.

At the age of 5, the son became so interested in insects that we now collect their figurines and play only with them, we have bugs as pets, while walking we look for and examine different insects, cockroaches and enrolled in the children's library, where we have already studied almost everything books on the subject. Particularly liked photobooks by V. Tanasiychuk , Soviet entomologist. We found only 2 books by this author in the library, pretty shabby, "shaggy" years of release.
In books "Six Legged Neighbors" and "Visiting Insects" you can see realistic photographs and read short stories about insects that will be of interest to children 5-6 years old . Unfortunately, it turned out that it is now impossible to buy these wonderful books for children . Therefore, we scanned them and would like to share our find with you. Read about insects , study them with your children.
It's so cool and exciting!!!
"Visiting Insects", V. Tanasiychuk
LIVING BUS
I sat on the porch in the evening and watched the butterflies circling around the lamp. Suddenly, a beetle plopped down in front of me in the grass - a strange one, covered with some kind of grains. As soon as I managed to photograph him, he took off and disappeared into the forest. And when I developed the film, I saw that there were no grains on it. These are dozens of small mites tightly, tightly clinging to the beetle, and the beetle drove them like a living bus. It would be interesting to know where?
WHAT DO BUTTERFLIES SMELL?
A night butterfly flew into the light of the lamp — beautiful and big, each wing is the size of your palm. She sat down and wiggled her mustache, sniffing if there were any other butterflies nearby. Humans smell through their noses, but butterflies smell through their whiskers. See how big and complex they are.
AMAZING WINGS
Is that also a butterfly? The legs are long, and the wings do not look like wings - thin, hairy and divided into several blades that look like fingers. That is the name of this butterfly - fingerwing.
WHO ate the aphids?
They lived on a branch of aphids, they sucked the juice from it. The branch began to wilt. But then, like a tank, a prickly beast crawled up and ate the aphids. Only a few pieces remain. What kind of animal is this? And this is a ladybug larva. A little time will pass, and it will turn into a red bug with black dots, which you know well.
ROSE
The lacewing flew to the flower. Her wings are large, transparent, they shine with a rainbow, and her eyes shimmer with gold. He sits, looks around - are there any aphids left that the ladybugs did not notice? If he finds it, he will eat them all. A beneficial insect is the lacewing, it protects our fields and gardens.
SILVER FLY
A small, match head-sized fly runs in the grass, also looking for prey.
Her back and belly are covered with silver dust, so they call her silver.
WHY IS THE HEAD FOR A PIPE TURNER?
Tube beetle sits on a branch. His larvae eat the leaves, and he makes edible tube houses for them from the leaves. He twists his paws, and helps with his head - it’s not for nothing that he has such a narrow, long one and moves in all directions. He worked for a long time, he was tired - now he is resting.
TERRIBLE TAILS
A green caterpillar of a harpy butterfly crawls along a willow leaf. Behind, two long tails stick up. You come closer to her - she gets scared, raises her head, twists her tails in the air: don't touch me, I'm scary! And she is afraid. Only she has the protection that these tails, because she does not know how to bite.
BUMPER WITH A BASKET
A fluffy bumblebee flies from flower to flower, drinks flower juice - collects nectar and pollen. Where? In a basket. There are special pits on the hind legs of bumblebees and bees where they put pollen.
Look how much this bumblebee scored! Now it will fly to its nest to feed the larvae.
SHARING WASTE
Ammophila wasp tired of hunting and also sat down to taste the nectar. Black, long-legged, with a thin orange belly, and on the forehead, between the eyes, three more small eyes shine like beads. Not a single caterpillar will hide from this wasp, it will immediately catch it and carry it into a mink as a reserve for its larvae.
WOOD CUTTER BEETLE
Whom you will not meet on the summer meadow! Here a motley, beautiful beetle flew in and sat on a flower. It eats pollen and moves its whiskers. Both he and all his relatives have very long mustaches, which is why these beetles are called barbels. And they are also called lumberjacks, because barbel larvae live in tree trunks.
GROUND BEETLE
Another beetle, a shiny green ground beetle, runs along the ground, gets tangled up in blades of grass and straws.
Why shouldn't she fly? Can't, no wings. They do not occur in beetles.
ROBBER WITH DAGGERS
A horse beetle lurks on a rock. His legs are long, bouncy, and his jaws are like two curved daggers. The horse is sitting, guarding the prey. If he sees a gaping fly or beetle, he will jump, fly, grab. If there were a horse not the size of a fingernail, but the size of a tiger, it would not be more terrible than an animal on earth.
FLUFFY SWEET TOOTH
Through a flower, as through a forest thicket, we make our way through a fluffy wax beetle. This beetle is peaceful, it does not hunt anyone - it eats flowers, chooses the sweetest parts. And his jaws are small, not dangerous to anyone.
BRAVE BEETLE
A beetle deftly climbs a blade of grass - it climbs high. The wind blows, the blade of grass, like a mast, swings, but he holds on. He has special hooks at the ends of his legs for this.
Sixth Neighbors, V.
