This morning was a warm, sunny day. We were appreciating the marvelous weather so we made three groups (I was in the first one) and went outside to find the answer to the question: Where are the most flying insects on our campus? In my group the first two tries were not so good because we held the sheet too high off the ground. The third time we did it good because we held it close to the flowering plants and got lots of bugs- even a crane fly. It had great big wings. I screamed because I thought it might be a stinging bug, but it wasn’t. We also tried to see how many were in the wetland on our campus and in the woods. We decided that most flying insects are in the sunlight where there are a lot of flowering plants because there’s sunlight and sunlight helps the flowering plants to grow. I think the bugs like flowering plants for the nectar.
