Watch ants scurry in and out of their ant hills or find some spilled food on the sidewalk. As it runs, it leaves a trail that other ants in the hill can smell. The ants find the food by smelling their way along the trail. Find out what the difference is between an insect and a spider. Write down possible answers to all these questions in your journal or draw pictures of what you see.

They are constantly looking for food. Some bugs are both good and bad. Termites, for example, have a nasty reputation because they destroy peoples houses by eating the wood. But they also break down old trees, keeping the forest floor from becoming too cluttered with dead trees.
