Fact File Poem/Song Programme 5 22 May by Sam Mcbratney
B B C Northern Ireland Learning One Potato, Two Potato Summer 2007 Wasps Programme 5 By Sam McBratney 22 May Wasps are considered to be a hazard by many people during the warmer months. In today’s story Colvin decides he is a friend of wasps – though later he is not so sure. Fact File • There are more then one million different species of insect, divided into thirty major groups, separated mainly by differences in the wings and the methods of feeding. • Wasps have biting jaws, used for eating solid food (as have grasshoppers and beetles). The jaws are not inside the mouth, but are really special legs, just outside the mouth. There are sharp teeth on them which cut the food into small pieces. Other ‘legs’ around the mouth help to hold the food and put it into the mouth when it has been cut up. The jaws and other feeding limbs are collectively known as the mouth-parts of the insect. • The wasp’s sting is its means of defence. Unlike some other insects and animals which employ camouﬂ age as a protection, wasps depend on their bold colours as a warning to predators. Only female wasps can sting. • Some insects, such as the hoverﬂ y, survive because their colours resemble a wasp’s. Birds avoid them for this reason. There are many such examples of mimicry in a variety of harmless insects. Poem/Song It’s morning in the kitchen, Soon breakfast will begin; We’ll have bread with jam or honey And some fancy biscuits from the tin.
