I've got that Geometry Bug!
Bubba Bug
My "Geometry Bug" has an
extremely large purpose. Its job has a role in society like no other bug. It
eats sewage! This bug is made to complete its role, it could live on the
surface of the earth, but that is not its purpose. New bugs are released in
sewers every 2 months. Those 2 months are the life span of my "Bubba
Bugs." To learn more from Bubba’s point of view, keep reading.
Hello,
let me introduce myself. My name is Bubba. I live in sewers. All I eat is
sewage. My body is well equipped for all the things I need to do. My tall
cylindrical legs keep me high above the wastes. They are cylindrically shaped
because that shape provides the most support. The hair on my legs provides
warmth, because it can get very cold in the sewers. You see, because I live
underground, it is very dark, that’s why I have large eyes that allow me to
have night-vision. Another important part of me is my doo-waps. They are the
spirally things hanging below my eyes. They act like vacuum cleaners because
they suck up my yummy food, (your wastes!) You may be thinking right now,
"Where does the food go after you eat it?" That question is simple. I
have pores on the side of my body that releases it in the air and it
evaporates. My abdomen is a cone shape that allows me to squeeze through small
spaces. I am the color green with sparkles because it is easy to see, and the
sparkles reflect the light. Although most bugs have antenna, I don’t because I
don’t need them! I don’t need them because antenna are used for feeling and I
don’t need to feel anything. My blood is brown because the food I eat is brown.
You also might be wondering how we reproduce. Well, we don’t! We have
scientists at a laboratory that releases many of us every 2 months. The main
geometrical challenge that I face is that I can’t climb up walls and I can’t
fly. Thank you for taking your time to read about me. I hope you enjoyed
learning about the most useful bug on earth!
