The two bugs on this week’s Kid
Scoop have come up with clever
ways to use digging, or burrowing,
skills to survive. The trapdoor
spider digs into the ground to
create a nest that is also a trap.
A wasp drills into trees to find safe,
food-filled havens for its eggs.
This trapdoor spider snagged
some of the words out of Nellie’s
article. Can you draw a line to

Another bug that uses special digging
skills is the ichneumon (ik-new-man)
wasp. This wasp lives in the pine forests of
North America, Europe and New Zealand.
Hot Rod
Bugs
When it is time to lay her eggs, the female
ichneumon wasp finds a pine tree. She
lands on a trunk or branch and gently taps
the wood with her antennae. She is
listening for a hollow sound that tells her
there is a grub inside.
Look at the Autos
for Sale ads in the
newspaper. Using
the format of these
ads, write ads with
descriptions of
different insects.
For example:
Sleek Optima
Ladybug, brand
new wing casings,
red and black,
new owner, 7-day
warranty, 5-speed,
tinted windows,
all-weather wings.
With the sharp tip of her ovipositor, she
pierces through the bark and drills until
she finds the grub. She lays a single egg in
the grub’s body.
In a few days, the tiny ichneumon young
hatches and feasts on the grub’s fat body.
When it is big enough, it tunnels out of the
tree and flies.
Adult ichneumon wasps drink the nectar
of flowers.
