All of the bugs in this
coloring book have one
thing in common.
For part of their life
they live in the
I am an adult Dragonfly.
You see me during the summer.
I like to fly around ponds and
land on plants close to the water.
Hi, I am a baby Dragonfly. I eat tiny animals in the
water, but if I get really hungry I might even eat
small fish! I live in ponds and
slow moving streams or rivers.
Hi! I am an adult Cranefly.
Sometimes you can find me inside your
house if you leave the windows
open in the summer. I look fierce, but I
don’t bite.
Head

I am a baby Cranefly.
Usually, I live under rocks
in a river or stream.
You can see through
my skin to my insides!
I also can
grow to be
as big as
your little
finger.

Tail
I am a Water Boatman. I look the same when I am a
baby and an adult. I always live in the water. You can
see me swimming through the water like a
little boat with paddles.
Hi, I am an adult Caddisfly.
Right now my wings look bare,
but really they are covered
with long silky hair.
My Case

I am a baby Caddisfly. I live in the water


inside a house I make called a case. My
case is made from tiny rocks, twigs, leaves
or shells that I find in water.
I am an adult Mayfly. I spend most of my
life in the water. When I turn into an
adult and move out of the water,
I might only live for a couple of hours.
Gills

Hi I am a baby Mayfly. I can live for two to


three years in the water. I use gills to
breath the oxygen dissolved in the water.
If you see me up close, you can watch my
gills waving gently in the water.
I am an adult Stonefly. I like to fly
around in the early spring. Usually,
you will find me near water.
Gills

Hi, I am a baby Stonefly. Like the


baby Mayfly, I also have gills, although I
can’t make them move.
