Bugs are brilliant. They fly, they creep, they slide, they crawl, they wriggle, they buzz, they scuttle and some even bite and sting. There are caterpillars that change into butterflies, beetles that carry suits of armour, moths with fake eyes, bees that make honey, flies that walk upside down, centipedes as big as a dinner plate, stick insects that can regrow limbs, bugs that can walk on water and a whole lot more.
