Small but Smart:
Bugs Know the Weather
Can we know the weather by watching bugs? Yes, we can! Bugs are small, but they are very smart. They can feel when the weather is going to change.
Bees are smart. On sunny days, you can see them buzzing happily from flower to flower. But if they hurry back to their hive, rain may come.
Ants are smart too. If they're carrying food up high, it may rain soon. They don't want their homes and food to get wet.
Dragonflies are amazing fliers. When rain is coming, they fly very fast and close to the ground.
Spiders also know the weather. On sunny days, they make big and beautiful webs to catch bugs. But if rain is coming, they take their webs down.
Bugs are smart and helpful. Do you like them?
