Shelter of Insects
Social insects like honeybees and wasps live in large groups called colonies.
Bees live in hives made of wax. Wasps make their nests out of paper.
Nocturnal Animals
Some animals are seen only at night. Such
animals are called nocturnal animals. They
sleep during the day. Nocturnal animals
like cockroach and kangaroo rats stay in
cool underground places. They come out at
night when the weather is cool. Nocturnal
animals like owls, lemurs and cats have special
eyes that see well in the dark. Owls do not build
their own nests. They live in tree cavities. Some
farmers make nest boxes near their farm for the
owls.

A Spider’s Web
A spider spins its web to trap its prey. The
web is made up of a type of silk that comes
out as liquid from the spider’s stomach. It
solidifies once it comes in contact with the
air.
