Butterfly
Butterflies are insects. A
butterfly’s lifecycle is made up of four parts, egg, larva (caterpillars), pupa
(chrysalis) and adult. Butterflies attach their eggs to leaves with a special
glue. Most caterpillars are plant eaters (herbivores). Fully grown caterpillars
attach themselves to a suitable twig or leaf before shedding their outside
layer of skin to reveal a hard skin underneath known as a chrysalis.
An adult butterfly will eventually
emerge from the chrysalis where it will wait a few hours for its wings to fill
with blood and dry, before flying for the first time. Butterflies can live in
the adult stage from anywhere between a week and a year, depending on the
species.
Butterflies have four wings. Butterflies
often have brightly colored wings with unique patterns made up of tiny scales.
Most butterflies feed on nectar from flowers. Butterflies have taste receptors
on their feet.
Scientists estimate that there are
between 15000 and 20000 different species of butterfly. Birdwing butterflies
have large, angular wings and fly in a similar way to birds. Monarch
butterflies are known for their long migration. Every year monarch butterflies
will travel a great distance (sometimes over 4000 km), females will lay eggs
and a new generation of monarchs will travel back, completing the cycle.

Firefly or Lightning Bug
Photinus pyralis
The firefly (also known as the lightning bug) is a common
firefly in North America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most
common firefly in the USA.
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the
firefly glows a bright yellow-green color. The firefly can control this glowing
effect. The brightness of a single firefly is 1/40 of a candle. Fireflies use
their glow to attract other fireflies. Males flash about every five seconds;
females flash about every two seconds. This firefly is harvested by the
biochemical industry for the organic compounds luciferin (which is the chemical
the firefly uses for its bioluminescence).
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is
mostly black, with two red spots on the head cover; the wing covers and head
covers are lined in yellow. Like all insects, it has a hard exoskeleton, six
jointed legs, two antennae, compound eyes, and a body divided into three parts
(the head, thorax, and abdomen).
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat
other insects (including other fireflies), insect larvae, and snails.

I have a new member in my family. It is a cat. I call it Ginger.
Ginger has soft white fur and likes to click its paws. It is also very
curious and likes to explore its new surroundings. It seems to like milk and
fish a lot and waits eagerly as I prepare its meal.
Besides, the cat that my father took from the road is very important
for me. It gives me some lessons about “cat talk”. When it is near me it
always purrs. This expresses its friendship with me. When I do my homework it
often bumps its head with me. I know this is the way to say hello. When it is
curious it sticks its whiskers straight out and twitches with excitement.
Sometimes it approaches something carefully with ears pricked forward. This
shows its alert. When it stalks the bird under the banyan tree beside my
house it waves its tail. This shows that it is trying to make up its mind whether
to creep or pounce. As soon as it has made up its mind the waving usually
stops.
Of course, I sometimes get angry with Ginger. When it feels
threatened it hisses and spits. Its ears lie flat and its eyes dilate. Ginger
seems to look like me a lot. I know this because it always follows me
whenever I go. I thank God for giving me such a nice cat.

music at my dinner.”

open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice had to scamper down and run
