Earwigs live and hide under stones and logs and piles of leaves. You might find as many as 100 under one log. Earwigs like to eat rotting fruit, vegetables and plants. The earwigs have a good chance of survival.
Ladybirds eat a lot of greenflies and a lot of other garden pests. The ladybirds are a big help to us.
Its called this because it looks like a scorpion and lives in water. But it is not a real scorpion.
This is the Elephant Hawk caterpillar.
We thought that we lost it until we saw this...
The babies eat snails but the adults do not eat. All of them have wings but only the males fly. They fly once it gets dark and flash a light every second. The females sitting in the grass will flash back if they see a male's light.
If they find a small dead animal they dig the soil from underneath it, burying it. the female then lays her eggs on or beside the dead animal and the babies will eat it.
When its frightened this beetle fires hot liquid from its bottom you can hear a pop when it fires.
This insect doesn't fly as it doesn't have wings. It is a fast runner and is covered in silvery scales. This one likes to live in dark cupboards and eat books and mould. It causes lots of damage.
I think it should be called bloody mouth beetle because the blood doesn't come out of its nose it comes out of its mouth when it is frightened. This beetle doesn't fly and has very large feet.
A stick insect eats its own skin after molting to recycle proteins and to keep their location a secret from predators.
The Human Fleas have amazing, jumpy, springy back legs that work like elastic. They are the best jumpers of all and can jump up to 130 times their own height!
If an ant was as big as a human, it would be so strong that you would need 10 people to match it's strength. 
Jewel Beetles are sparkly and colourful. Sometimes people make them into jewellery but countries like Australia want to protect them.
Leaf cutter bees make their cells in little holes, hollow stems and even keyholes! They line their cells with neatly cut tiny pieces of leaves. Once made, the female fills the cell with pollen and lays her egg.
Wolf Spiders are always hunting for food. This means the mommy spider carries her babies on her back while hunting. If something happens and the babies fall off, they just climb back on again!
The Goliath Beetle lives in tree tops in tropical rain forests in Africa. It is the heaviest beetle in the world and weighs as much as an apple! The Goliath Beetle is as big as your hand!
