Author: Sleep Tight Media | Bedtime Science Show for Kids & Starglow Media July 10, 2024 Duration: 25:44
In this episode, we will learn about the world of stink bugs. We will discover why stink bugs release their characteristic smell and how this clever strategy helps protect them from predators. We will also look at their diet and feeding habits, learning about what stink bugs eat and how they impact the plants and crops they feed on. Plus, we will share some fun facts about them. We will answer questions from Zeppelin, seven years old from Nambour, Queensland, Australia, who wants to know how animals evolve; Emilia, eight years old, who asks why rainbows don’t have pink in them; and Yasmeesix, six years old from New Zealand, asks why raspberries have hair on them.
