Science Assignment: Plants and Insects

This morning, I was outside hunting for a particular insect that loves to eat green vegetables (and other vegetables too). I found three. One dropped and I took the other one off the vegetable. One was a darker gray color so I don't know if is the same as the other insects I found. I took some photos I took. I am not going to tell you what they are in this post.

Here is your assignment for the day.

Note: I still need to figure out what the one flying insect is in fifth photo is still so I have my task set out for me for today too. :0)

Science Assignment
Identify the insect in the first two photos.
Identify the two stages of this insect.
Name other vegetables that this insect enjoys eating.
Identify each plant and vegetable found below.
Identify the other two insects.
