Just like bees, they&#8217;re hard at work as they travel from flower to flower to gain nutrients and pollinate. In this activity, kids will learn to appreciate the insect\u2019s beauty and purpose, as they create their own butterfly and learn how they take part in pollination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/4-h.org\/clover\/activities\/getting-to-know-your-cricket\/\">Getting to Know Your Cricket<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever wondered what makes that chirping sound you hear on warm spring and summer nights?
