Have you ever heard of a stinkbug? There are many
kinds of bugs called stinkbugs. They all have a special
scent gland in the thorax that produces fluids that smell
disgusting.
How many
cicadas do
you see?
Some bugs can squirt this smelly fluid at attackers. If
enough fluid lands on an attacker, it may kill it. Usually,
it only creates a burning feeling or temporary blindness.

Fluid
Meanings
Some bugs avoid being
eaten by tasting terrible.
The monarch butterfly
lays its eggs on
milkweed plants. Its
caterpillars grow up
eating milkweed, which
makes them taste bad.
Lots of animals can’t eat
milkweed, because it
tastes awful and even
makes some animals sick.
Look through the
newspaper and find
synonyms for the
word fluid. Try
replacing the word
fluid on today’s
Kid Scoop page
with each of the
synonyms you
found. Does the
synonym change
the meaning of any
of the sentences?
When the
caterpillar
becomes a butterfly,
the bitter-tasting
chemicals from the
milkweed are still in its
body. Birds and other
predators learn that the
orange and black beauty
is a snack to avoid.
