Insects: Proverbs, quotes, sayings, etc.

A little green caterpillar sat on a leaf
  Thinking: "My tummy’s beginning to rumble.
My mother has told me to eat up my leaves,
  But I’d far rather eat apple crumble."

The fat little caterpillar looked at the sky
  And thought "Why is the sky very blue?" -
And "How do I get to see more of this world?
  My goodness - just what must I do?"

A butterfly flew down to the leaf next to him
  And noticed he'd started to cry.
"Now just hurry up and get on with your greens -
  Then soon you'll be able to fly.”

"But my world is so boring with nothing to do
  Except eating my greens every day.
I want so very much to be lovely like you,
  And go into the world and just play."

Then suddenly his green coat started to split
  And he stepped into the warm summer sun.
"You're a butterfly now - your dreams have come true;
  So it's your turn to fly and have fun."

In Beastington a family lived, who made a "Beasts R You,"
It was a section of a garden - well, a mini-beastie zoo.
  The little creatures all moved in and crawled around the wall,
  And the lovely name they gave their home was Mini-Beastie Hall.

"Let's throw a lovely party, if the family gives consent.
We'll plan a meal, arrange some games, get invitations sent."
  The news got round, the day arrived, guests came to "Beasts R You".
  What a really lovely place to live, it's exactly like a zoo."

A ladybird, a grasshopper, slugs and worms came too -
It was such a nice occasion and the party grew and grew.
  One brought his own computer - the spider's name was Fred.
  "I've had a lovely thought" he said "You can learn to surf the web."

"A computer's such an asset for your lovely little park
I'll teach you how to crawl the web - if you wait until it's dark!
  I don't want you to bug it, or to introduce a worm -
  I'll only teach you one by one - just wait and take your turn."

So, one by one they entered: "Just what can we achieve?" -
But a tragic thing then happened, for no-one seemed to leave.
  Mini Beastie Hall went quiet, there was no-one on the wall -
  Which was really not surprising - Fred had eaten one and all.
