Insects and Friends

Some people may be bugged by bugs, but many of them can actually be very helpful and handy to have around. They come in all shapes and sizes, and constitute thousands of different species. However, some of the things that we call 'bugs', might be something different altogether. From Ladybirds to roly-poly's and spiders: come find out what makes a bug a bug, and discover what might make them good back yard neighbors after all.
