Scientists have discovered 800,000 different kinds of insects, but they think that there are many kinds that have not been found yet. Every year from 7,000 to 10,000 new kinds of insects are discovered and named.

"Do you think you could imagine 800,000 different kinds of insects?" I asked my students. They quickly admitted that they could not.
"What if you were there when God created the insects, and He let you each think up one?" I asked. "Could you do it?"
"YES!"
Well then, here is your task. You are to create a new species of insect, and place it in its habitat. You may use paper, markers, crayons, colored pencils, glue, glitter and pipe cleaners. Be creative and have fun! God did!

It would be fascinating to find those species of bugs your students created, except the Killing Guinea Pig Fly. He'd get a can of Raid!
