Eyes

Insects have what is called a Compacted Eye. 

This eye is made out of hundreds maybe thousands of tiny little eyes. Each of these eyes sees and then sends it's own message to the insects brain.
  We aren't really sure why GOD did it this way but He did.
  Some insects also have what is called a Ocelli Eye. It is such a basic eye that it can only tell light from dark.

This is what a compacted eye sees.

Sorry about the fly. I found the most attractive picture that I could.

  Some insects have these in only one stage of their life and others will have it there entire life.

Back again

Well, it's now time to get back to school.

On an insects head, the exoskeleton's plates are sealed together to protected the insect's brain.
An insect's brain isn't near as big as a humans or as complicated. But still, it's a brain and all brains are complicated.
  The insects brain works a lot lick a humans' brain. It sends messages through the insects nerve cord and the insect reacts.
(A humans nerve cord is protected by a back bone)

The biggest questions is, dose a insect feel pain?
No one is quite sure but studies have shown that the insect probably doesn't feel any pain because if it did it would stop walking or at  lease react somewhat.

Christmas!

And there were Shepards out in the fields watching their flocks and an angle of the lord came to them and they were so afraid.

  But the angle said, "Fear not for behold, I bring good tiding of great joy. For unto you this day in the city of David a savoy has been born and he is Christ the Lord."

Merry Christmas!

Molting

All bugs have to molt so that they can grow.
A insect has a outer shell that is called an exoskeleton. This shell protects the insect from smashing if it falls, and other dangers.
But because the Exoskeleton is so hard the insect has to shed it before growing.
(You will most often see a cicada exoskeleton.)

When the insects exoskeleton gets too small the insect begins to grow a new one under the old shell.
This new exoskeleton produces a chemical that loosens the old shell.
Then the insect begins to take in huge breaths and stretches it's self. This loosens the old shell and then is breaks open and the insect can come out a new insect.

Butterflys

Now there isn't very much to tell about insects in genirol.
 There are a lot of them. The insect population out numbers humans at about a hundred to one, and so I couldn't possibly cover all the insects, besides there really isn't that much to tell.

  Butterfly (I chose them because it's just a short post.), have thoughsands of tiny tiny little scales on their wings and that is why if you ever catch a butterfly by it's wings there is this fine powder left on your fingers.

  These scales help the butterfly fly and give it color.
 The scales them selves aren't colorful but GOD made them just right so that when they catch the light they turn that color.
Each kind of Butterfly has its own kind of scales that catch the light in just the right color.
  The butterfly's colors also help it to hide and defend it's self. 

What I like to do.

 This is what I like doing maybe best.

Water coloring is a whole lot of fun!

 Just add water.

 Then when your done the paint comes right out.

Happy Thanksgiving

Let us always remember to thank our GOD for every blessing that HE gives us continually!

I hope that you have a very happy Fall and Thanksgiving,

And enjoy the day that our GOD has given us to enjoy!

Bugs

This will be an extremely short post about the difference between bugs and insects.
 Bugs are a kind of insect that has wings that are thick at the base of the wing and thinner at the tip.
A water strider would be considered a bug, but a dragon-fly is really the best.
