Bug Man Assembly

Today we had a unusual but exciting assembly. Rudd Kleinpaste also known as The Bug Man. He showed us about lots ways that insects run this world. He told us that bees make a ⅓ of our food. There are only 1 million bugs named but people think there are between 13 to 14 million still yet to be named. 

He taught me lots of things of new interesting things and I found this one in really fascinating , If we did not have poo disposal insects like the dung beetle in 3 years we would be covered in poo . Here are a few more facts he told us...

Sloths poo once a week and when they do they hug the tree

Sloths eat one leaf a day

The bug man thinks we should be eating bugs

Bees pollinate to make the plants grow

Some frogs eat poisonous ants and then there poison goes onto the frogs backs to make the frog poisonous    

If you get a ultraviolet light and shine it in the night the scorpions light up

If sloths eat 2 leaves a day they will die   

fantails diet is only insects  

It was an enjoyable assembly I have learnt lots more. Thank You Bug Man!
