Chasinagon

My bug is known as the Chasinagon. ‘Inagon’ meaning twenty because of its twenty legs. Its legs are used for propelling through water because it’s a water bug. It lives off of algae, using its small cylinder tube for a mouth to suck the algae in while filtering everything else. Chasinagon is rectangular in shape. Its feet are not for walking so it has triangular helicopter like wings to move it from place to place. He lives inside logs and other areas near water. Although it has big eyes it can not see anything but the movement of light and shadows so it has antennas with millions of small hairs to detect movement in order to keep form being eaten by prey. 

  The male Chasinagon’s exoskeleton is shiny which attracts its mate. Once it finds a mate it loses its shiny exoskeleton. The larvae stays in a cocoon for 2 months while developing to a full grown Chasinagon. 

The Chasinagon is very rare and scientist have only found them near the Gippsland lakes in Victoria, Australia. 

“The life of Mosquitosphere”

The name of my bug is Mosquitosphere. He has many different geometrical shapes in his body.  He will now tell you what he uses, his shapes, and how they all work together.  


Hello my friends my name is Mr. Mosquitosphere, I live in the tropical rainforest of Africa. Streams are my favorite place to stay the water is usually calm and does not disturb me. I have special feet to glide upon to water, they are very tiny spheres with little hairs all over them. This helps distributes my weight so I can move very fast and get away from things trying to eat me. I can also fly using my triangular shaped wings. This helps me get to my prey so I can eat their blood. Blood is a delicacy for the Mosquito. I have to use my cylinder shaped mouth to put into your arms to suck all of your blood. My wife Mrs. Mosquitoesphere need both blood and nectar she uses her cylinder shaped mouth to suck the nectar from plants. Hosts may be difficult to find so I have to take as much blood possible at a time. I have a sphere chamber to hold blood as a reserve when people are scarce. I am not liked by humans much because I can cause many types of diseases for them. The most common one is malaria. My geometrical challenge is climbing trees because my feet are a spherical shaped. Another challenge I deal with is the type of food I eat, it can only be in liquid form since I have a cylinder shaped mouth.

The Caterpillarworm

The Caterpillarworm can survive in any part of the eastern United States, the only disadvantage he has is that he cannot climb. The type of foods he eats is grass and harmful insects. The Caterpillarworm is diurnal which means he is active both at night and during the day but mainly during the day. When he goes into a state of sleep he buries himself under the ground and can survive without food for up to 3 days at a time.                         


The only predators it has are birds and certain species of spiders. Unlike the caterpillar it does not go under metamorphosis and unlike a worm it does not decompose wastes to enrich the soil of farms. It is a omnivore and does not like to be messed with. The only way you can ride your home of such a creature is to bring in its main predator, which is extremely hard to find and has not been named by scientists.                                 


The Caterpillarworm is a new species that arose after scientists breed caterpillars and worms together hoping to create a bug that could transform into a butterfly and still enrich the soil so farmers can grow crops much easier without watering the soil or adding any type of fertilizer. The Caterpillarworm can also breed with either caterpillars or worms and has spread rapidly since scientists were unable to capture the creature since it moves slowly, but it can use its surroundings to protect itself.


This creature has actually become helpful to farmers because they eat the insects that would damage there crops which would in turn help with both controlling how many crops get destroyed and help the Caterpillarworm become famous, and known has a helpful bug and not a harmful one.

Arachnida Octovrisdae-The Eight-Sided Scorpion Spider

The Eight-Sided Scorpion Spider is from a very unique family of arachnids, being asymmetrical and also having incredible luck. The chelicerae on the spider are both different. Usually the right side of the fangs have a hooked shape and typically the left side has a crescent shaped fang. The abdomen, thorax, and head all have an octagonal based shape. The legs of this lucky bug are made of elongated spheres. On its back is a strange pattern of a sun.

Usually, these spiders inhabit islands that always strangely attract treasure-seekers that often bury their treasure on these islands and there is always a stray map or two. There’s even a legend that if you see an eight-sided scorpion spider, it must mean that treasure is nearby. These islands usually have lots of cliffs. In the cliffs is where they make their homes, but researches often call these abodes “hives.” Oftentimes, these spiders are said to have an affinity for red. If you were to visit the hive of one of them, you would most likely find small red items that the spider has found around its environment. 

These spiders can form incredibly strong silk threads for their webs, but their true skill is in their stratagems to lure their prey right into their plans. But these spiders also have their weaknesses – like the fact that they are blind in seven of their eight eyes. There is also a civil war with the spiders. The terelibae, more commonly known at the Red Glare spiders, are always feuding with the octagonal spiders. 

THE ZEBRA BUG

My bug is called a zebra bug. It has three body parts made out of spheres. Its antennas are cylinders with spheres on top of them and feathers coming out of the spheres. Its wings are flattened semi-spheres. Its eyes are spheres and it has a place on its bum that is a cone. Its mouth is a pinwheel type thing and its legs are cylindrical. I used the geometrical shapes that I did because I wanted to make my bug special and only these shapes will work for this bug.

The Zebra Bug lives in a magical forest where everything is zebra print so that it blends in with everything and is not as easily detected as some of the other magical creatures that live there.  My bug moves very slowly when it is walking, but when it flies it is as fast as the speed of light, which makes it hard to catch. The Zebra Bug eats rainbows but it only rains once a month in the magical forest so the Zebra Bug has a very slow metabolism and has fat pockets that its body uses to store extra bits of fat for the bug if it burns its fat off to keep it alive. These bugs do not reproduce. Whenever their population gets low then another bug just poofs into the air and bam, there is another Zebra Bug. These bugs run in packs. They all stick together because they would not survive on their own. These bugs depend on each other to watch their backs when it is feeding time and nap time.

The Zebra Bug has defense mechanisms to help it survive. On the lower left side of its wing, it has an eyeball and on the top right side it has sparkles. If a predator sneaks up on this bug, it either flaps its wings to shine light in the predators eye or it stays still to make it look like its watching the thing that’s trying to eat it. This bug also has a pointy thing so in case the sparkles or the eye do not work. If the bug gets attacked from the front, then it shoots sparkles out of its feathers into the predator’s eyes and darts off.

Because of this bugs shape, it makes it really hard to fit into certain places such as small spaces or skinny spaces, but the bug cant stay in a big space because it will be attacked. This bug faces many challenges in finding a place to live.

Polly, the Painter’s Pollinator Bug

Hi, my name is Polly and my job is to pollinate purple pansies in hard-to-get places in the Pyrenees Mountains. Dr. Pan, a scientist who also loves to paint pansies on pieces of purple paper, created me. She created me because Peter Park, a scientist and spelunker, fell off a cliff while trying to cross-pollinate purple cliff pansies.  Dr. Pan was scared that that would happen again, so the idea to create a bug for the job was ideal. She created me with six legs, all with sucker cups on the ends to attack me to the cliff, a pouch for the pollen, a soft brush, multiple eyes and two antenna to sense purple pansies with. I am fuzzy and soft all over, so that I can catch any pollen that falls away. I am brightly colored so that Dr. Pan can see me as I climb the cliff and my fur gives off a bad scent if danger, such as birds or bigger bugs, is near. I can climb on the top of caves and up cliffs where purple pansies live. I eat part of the pansies’ purple pigment to stay alive on the job, but Dr. Pan feeds me popsicles in the lab. I make my home in a pot near the pool. I like the way my sucker cup feet sound on the metal; they echo and pop when I walk. I have a round head, a cylindrical brush, antenna, and legs, and quadrilateral body and semi-spheres for feet.

The Beastbug (no picture)

The Beastbug lives anywhere from a tropical rain forest to a savanna. It burrows deep underground within the root system of trees. It can take the nutrients from the roots but it prefers to kill and eat other creatures with its powerful pinchers. It is called the beast bug because it is a beast, it can kill almost anything. Its pinchers can inject deadly venom, which can kill a human in a few hours. The Beastbug only comes out of its burrow once or twice a month.

The days that he comes outside of its burrow consists of a typical pattern. Early in the morning he goes hunting and eating a smaller insect. Then once he is finished he goes out searching for any dead animals that he might have poisoned the last time it was out. But it is mostly just wandering around enjoying the scenery.  Then after his walk he searches for a large meal, such as a bird or a rat that he can store in his burrow.

The Beastbug has no natural predators, because he killed them all. All animals that know of his presence are afraid for their life. They respectfully fear the Beastbug because of its Beastness. Thankfully the Beastbug tries to avoid human contact as much as possible, because if it did not, we would be in a lot of trouble.

Woodical (no picture)

Hello little kiddies, my name is Woodical! I kill you! My job is to keep little ant colonies safe and sound. The little ants feel safe when I am around because I have explosives that God gave me when I was created. These explosives come in handy sometimes, because little grasshoppers and praying mantis’ come along and try to eat the little ants and their food. They work so hard for their food and when something comes along and tries to steal it, the ants call me and come over and I blow them up. One day there was a grasshopper named Chopper, and he was trying to steal a little ant’s ham sandwich. The president of the ant colony came and got me at the lake, where I spend most of my time watching frogs eat little flies. He told me Chopper was trying to get of his ant people’s ham sandwich, and I said you don’t take an ant’s ham sandwich especially if he has mustard on it. So we went back to the ant colony, Crawler’s Colony, and we told Chopper he needed to leave or I kill you! He did not believe me so I blew him up, and while in the process I blew my self up too. That is my other little secret, I am a zombie bug. I also got fired from what was left of Crawler’s Colony, but I learned something important that day. Location, location, location. Now I am a free agent looking for hire. I am a rectangular cube with bullets, wings, and speed. The only geometrical challenges I would have trouble with would be going through a triangular passage or going through a circle. I can walk pretty well although I prefer to fly, and I love ham sandwiches. I also like steaks and baked potatoes. I tried putting my wanted add on eharmony for bugs but apparently no other zombie bugs exist so apparently I am extinct.
