Backyard Bugs can be grouped and classified on the basis of observable features. For example; Bugs that have wings compared to bugs with legs and ones that have mucas.
The Animals on the Move mobile Backyard Bugs encounter clearly demonstrates the diverse structural features of each creature and ways in which they adapt to help them survive in their environment.
