This rhyming list poem, includes a variety of minibeasts and includes lots of small references to their habitats and behaviour. |
Caterpillars on the plants
Hidden hills lived in by ants
|
|
|
|
|
Creepy crawlies on the ground
Minibeasts are all around.
|
Spiders’ cobwebs overhead
Squirming worms in flower beds
|
|
|
|
|
Flies that do exactly that
Midges, greenfly, common gnat. |
Earwig, grasshopper and bug
Dung beetle and slimy slug
|
|
|
|
|
Ladybirds (yellow or red)
Moths that flutter overhead. |
Woodlouse, snail and centipede
The many-footed millipede
|
|
|
|
|
Hear the cricket’s special sound
Minibeasts are all around.
