More About bristletails
Bristletails are very old bugs. They have been on Earth for millions of years. They are not like most bugs because they do not have wings. They are small and can be hard to see.
In our homes, bristletails can help by eating old plants. They help keep the place clean. But, we do not want too many of them inside. They like dark and damp spots.
Some bristletails can jump high. This helps them get away from things that want to eat them. They are fun to learn about because they are so old and special!
