Oliver catches Bugs at Home

Title: “Oliver the Bug Detective”

Introduction

Oliver is a curious and adventurous kid who loves exploring nature. One day, he notices bugs sneaking into his house—ants in the kitchen, a spider in the bathroom, and even a beetle in his bedroom! Instead of being scared, Oliver decides to become a Bug Detective and figure out why the bugs are visiting.

The Ant Investigation

Oliver starts with the ants in the kitchen. He follows their trail and discovers they’re after crumbs from his snack time. With the help of his mom, Oliver cleans up the crumbs and learns how to store food properly to keep ants away.

• Lesson: Keeping your home clean helps prevent bugs from coming inside.

The Spider Rescue

Next, Oliver finds a spider in the bathroom. At first, he’s a little scared, but his dad explains that spiders are helpful because they eat other bugs. Oliver carefully catches the spider in a jar and releases it outside.

• Lesson: Spiders are friends, not foes!

The Mystery of the Beetle

In his bedroom, Oliver spots a shiny beetle crawling on the windowsill. He wonders how it got inside. After some detective work, he realizes the beetle flew in through an open window. Oliver decides to keep his windows closed unless there’s a screen.

• Lesson: Screens on windows help keep bugs out while letting fresh air in.

The Bug-Friendly Garden

Oliver realizes that bugs are coming inside because they’re looking for food and shelter. With his family’s help, he creates a bug-friendly garden in the backyard. They plant flowers to attract butterflies, build a small pond for dragonflies, and even make a “bug hotel” out of sticks and leaves.

• Lesson: Giving bugs a home outside keeps them from coming inside.

The Grand Finale: Bug Detective Badge

Oliver’s family is so proud of his detective skills that they make him an official Bug Detective Badge. Oliver promises to keep learning about bugs and protecting them—while also keeping his home bug-free.
