Why Learn Insect Names in English?

Insects are one of the most popular early science topics in English-speaking classrooms — life cycle units feature butterflies and caterpillars, garden projects teach children about bees and ants, and science fairs regularly include insect displays. ESL children who know English insect names can participate in these nature-based learning activities, engage with classic English picture books like 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and discuss what they observe in the garden with classmates.
