The insect I have made is the Limey Spider. I have made this insect up by myself. I came up with this name because I saw we have quite a lot of lime coloured stuff in our backyard and found these weird green balls growing from trees. I decided to use it for the abdomen and front bit of the spider. It has two fangs in the front and four legs attached to the abdomen. The sticks and fangs are little twigs. I made a hole in the ball for the eyes. I named it limey spider because its body is pretty much lime green colored. The spider is like that as well because it can mimicry into other green coloured spider colonies making it basically camouflage through colonies of other green coloured spider species.
Mōrena Joe,

Ka pai, you have done a great job on your insect art! I really like that you’ve changed up the activity and made up your own insect - I think your limey spider is awesome!
I especially like that you’ve added in some extra detail by making fangs out of twigs.
Thank you for sharing your process while making your limey spider, it’s great to see that you’ve added some facts to your imaginary insect, like being able to blend in with other green spider colonies! Creative thinking there!
What was your favourite part about making your spider? Was it gathering all the materials, putting it together, or coming up with something new, I wonder?
Keep up the awesome work Joe, it is great to see you so active in the Summer Learning Journey!
Mā te wā,

Hello Elle, My favourite part was collecting the materials to create my insect art. Their was quite a lot to choose from!
ReplyDeleteHello Joe, it is great to hear back from you!
DeleteI’m so glad that you enjoyed collecting all the materials - it is always exciting because you never know what you might find!
I think you found some very cool materials with neat colours for your limey spider!
Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see what you do next!
Ngā mihi,
