baggetta Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Here are 5 facts about Lady Bugs 1) Ladybugs are a type of beetle. 2) Some ladybugs have no spots and others have up to 20 spots. 3) To help defend themselves, ladybugs play dead. They also can release a yellow fluid that other bugs find stinky. 4) The color of the ladybug sends off the message to its predators that it may taste bad or be poisonous. 5) Ladybugs cluster together as a way to “deter predators by increasing the concentration of their smell and their warning coloration. Now that you know something about Lady Bugs, here is a simple puzzle your children or grand children might enjoy piecing together (after you dazzle them with your knowledge). I cut mine from 1/4" birch plywood. It's a flat puzzle so lay it on a flat surface when assembling.

baggetta Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thanks. Thought this might make an interesting puzzle. Would probably be nice if some artist out there painted it to really look like a Lady Bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
