Though you don’t like us, we think you’re neat, And suck your blood for an evening treat. Our small weight may hardly be felt, But our bite leaves an itchy welt. Besides making you ill at ease We may also spread disease. Yellow fever and malaria too Are diseases we can give to you. We also carry encephalitis, So if we’re not around don’t invite us. Drain standing water in which we breed, So we’ll go elsewhere for this need. And there are other things you can do To prevent us from biting you. 3 I'm not your sister or your mother, But I'm married to your father's brother. 4 I’m the one who scared Miss Muffet When she sat upon her tuffet. From the moment that I spied her, I knew she’d spook if I sat beside her. It’s just as well she ran away, I couldn’t eat her anyway. But the flies on her curds and whey Were for me delicious prey. 5 In the brush or high grass I wait for man or beast to pass Then from my perch on one I’ll fall And on my eight legs start to crawl To some spot and sink my head And suck up blood so nice and red. Before I eat I’m brown and flat, Filled with blood I’m gray and fat. If you find me stuck to you, Prompt removal is what you do, For when we feed we might inject Nasty germs that can infect. You could be a sad receiver Of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. 6 When a dog gets bit by these He snaps and bites in hopes to seize The pest that makes him ill at ease, But with a jump, the insect flees. 7 When an insect near me lands, My praying hands become preying hands. I grab that fella and hold him fast, He’s now doomed for my repast. Without stopping to say grace, I chew him up and feed my face. My praying pose was just a show, Preying is what I really know. I am a giant in my realm, It helps me my prey to overwhelm. I’m much bigger than an ant is, But much smaller than a man tis. 8 I’m not a walking cane or crutch, But my name implies as much. I rest on tree limbs in open sight, But I’m still hidden as if by night. My camouflage is really slick, When I’m still I seem a stick. But if disturbed and I walk away, “My land, a walking stick,” you say. And that, my friend, is my name. If you don’t guess it, that’s a shame. 9 You may not see me during the day. I’m hiding tucked away. When night comes and things are dead I like to bug you in your bed. While you lie there fast asleep, I come from hiding and to you I creep. With my beak I pierce your skin, And take a luscious blood meal in. Then back to hiding I will crawl To mattress, bed frame and wall. I take my time to digest my snack, But later on I will be back. My bite by some is hardly felt. Others itch and get a welt. A Flea B Ant C Tick D Grasshopper E Walking Stick F Katydid G Mosquito H Praying mantis I Bed bug J Spider Additional Waypoints
