"Bug City" is a video series created to help children (grades 1-6) learn about insects and other small critters. All aspects of bug life are touched upon, including body structure, food, habitat, life cycle, mating habits, camouflage, mutualism (symbiosis), adaptations, social behavior, and more. Each program features dramatic microscopic photography and fun commentary and bug facts. The topic of this lesson is crickets, grasshoppers, and related insects, and contains information on the incredible jumping, chirping, and camouflaging skills of these insects. A demonstration of how to make a cricket habitat and a discussion of how to keep a pet cricket is also given. A teacher's guide, which is included with the video, may be downloaded from the Internet.
