my next guest is a fascinating bug

please welcome caterpillar thank you joy

oh caterpillar what's new i'm getting

ready to turn into a butterfly yeah and

i'm gonna turn into an airplane

i'm serious are you magician no

it's not magic see right now i'm in my

larval stage and i have to eat a lot to

get ready for my pupa stage

would you like some no thanks just had

lunch what's the pupa

that's when i'm inside my chrysalis for

about a month then i turn into a

butterfly sounds like a magic trick to

me can you read my mind what am i

thinking right now i can't read your

mind joy

that's exactly what i was thinking

you're amazing we bugs are amazing

little creatures

why don't we watch a movie that i

brought it's about bugs

oh a movie let's watch

welcome to the wonderful world of bugs

featuring some of the finest and most

fascinating bugs in the world oh that's

a praying mantis but not all mantises

are so scary

this one is beautiful see it it's a

flower mantis hiding in

you guessed it a flower

actually if it weren't for bugs there

wouldn't be as many flowers bees and

butterflies help all sorts of flowers

grow by transporting pollen between them

these bugs aren't carrying pollen

they're leaf cutter ants carrying big

pieces of leaf that's another thing bugs

do they're great recyclers

like this green bottle fly don't get me

wrong bottle flies don't take bottles

back to the store

they recycle in a different way

flies and lots of other bugs eat dead

things and turn waste into nutrients

that help plants grow

but this bugs eating a plant just like

i've been doing a lot lately

in fact we caterpillars eat as much as

we weigh every day

then we turn into a chrysalis

[Music]

then we turn into a butterfly it's

called metamorphosis

but i call it beautiful

now that looks like a butterfly but it's

really a moth it's called an atlas moth

because it's 12 inch wingspan makes it

as big as a dinner plate speaking of

dinner this mosquito is having a nice

drink of blood i know it's yucky to be

on the sucking end of a mosquito but hey

a bugs gotta eat too

and one thing's for sure bugs get eaten

back bugs are food for millions of other

animals like birds and bats and even

other bugs

that's a spider catching a fly for lunch

but my favorite bug eater is the sphinx

moth a sphinx moth can stick its tongue

out 11 inches that's four times its body

length if a kid could stick her tongue

out four times her life she'd have a 16

foot tongue

my favorite bug jumper is the high

flying cat please it can jump eight

inches or 200 times his body length if a

kid could do that he could leave almost

three football fields in a single bound

yep from fleas to fireflies bugs are not

only fantastic they're the three g's

that keep the world green

bugs are the gardeners that help trees

and flowers grow

bugs are the garbage collectors that

clean up dead plants and animals

and bugs are the groceries that feed all

sorts of animals but for me you know

what really puts the g in bugs

bugs are just great to look at

ah that was cool yeah pretty neat huh

yeah

is it over

wow daddy seems really scared yeah

i wonder what he could be afraid of

hey you think it's because we just saw a

show about bugs

bugs where are they on me get them off

get them off get them off get them off

you're afraid of bugs what

me uh scared of bugs afraid of bugs

it is to laugh

okay maybe i am afraid of bugs

huh okay i'm terrified of bugs

especially caterpillars

they're so long and and fuzzy

enough is enough

you really need to get over this fear

and i'm going to help you yeah

all right here

look at that

he is so cute

is that what i think it is

yup it's a caterpillar and you are going

to take care of him for the whole day

and then you will see there is nothing

to be afraid of

if you were a beetle you'd be in the

with over 370 thousand different kinds

if you were a beetle you could be as

tiny as a feather winged beetle and only

be seen under a microscope or you could

be as big as a titan beetle and be over

six inches long if you were a beetle you

could be as dark as a scarab beetle for

any color of the rainbow you could even

be the brightest beetle in the bunch a

lightning bug you could be as cute as a

ladybug or as scary as a tiger beetle

you would eat nice green leaves or not

so nice poop that's what a dung beetle

does

if you were a beetle you might live in

water or wood or down in the dirt

would agree when it comes to numbers
