Many insects spend at least part of their lives underground in the dirt. Ants and termites live most of their lives underground in social colonies and living in tunnel structures. When earthworms tunnel through the dirt, they bring air into the soil.
Worms or "nightcrawler" usually feed above ground at night. Their segmented bodies are covered in setae, which are small bristles that are used for burrowing into the ground. During this Invitation to Create, children experimented with nature to create their worm artwork. During the project, children moved their nightcrawler through the dirt and created worm trail designs.
Beetles, termites and ants make tunnels in dirt. I placed cardboard tubes (tunnels) in dirt, they took turns rolling dice and placed that many bugs in the tunnels.
