Mini Buggy Games
Twenty Lengths
Coil and release. A perfect jump lands 20× your own body length.
Grasshopper
The Strike
Snap at the fly the instant it's in reach — a mantis takes 50 milliseconds.
Praying mantis
Flash Back
Repeat the flash pattern. Every species has its own code.
Lightning bug
Ace Hunter
Chase a jinking midge. Real dragonflies land 95% of their chases.
Dragonfly
Spin the Web
Trace the spiral without breaking the silk — then it eats it and rebuilds.
Orb weaver
Aphid Feast
Eat as many as you can. A ladybug manages 5,000 in a lifetime.
Ladybug
Heavy Lifter
Haul a crumb that keeps getting heavier. Ants carry 50× their weight.
Ant
Buzz the Pollen
Hold to buzz it loose — a trick honeybees can't do.
Bumblebee
Roll Up
Curl into armor at the right moment. It's a crustacean, not an insect.
Pill bug
Eat 100×
Inch along and eat everything. They grow 100× before transforming.
Caterpillar
Taste With Your Feet
Land to taste each leaf and find the milkweed. That's really how they check.
Monarch
Chirp in Time
Keep the beat by rubbing your wings. Crickets hear through their knees.
Field cricket
One in Four
Sort beetles from everything else. A quarter of all animals are beetles.
Ground beetle
Long Legs
Step left, right, left across the grass. No venom, no silk, not a spider.
Daddy longlegs
