The MES online flashcard application is an in-browser app that allows full screen display, has audio, and a few vocabulary building games. (This is a great option for online lessons or to save the time and cost of print versions.)

Mark's note: This is a mix of 'bugs', not necessarily insects only. It's a good group of common creepy-crawlies that students should recognize. I use this set to teach 'I don't like ...' It should offer a good chance to practice both, 'I like ...' and 'I don't like ...'

* a moth and a centipede are not included in the handout above, although they are included with the large flashcards and small game cards
