Mark's note: This is a mix of 'bugs', not technically only insects. 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
