Insect Cards Set #1

Two sets of printable fact cards are included in these Free Insect Nature Cards. Each insect card includes a beautiful watercolor image of each insect along with key information such as:

  • the insect’s classification and/or scientific name
  • its average size
  • its main colors
  • other interesting facts (kids are going to love learning about the cool thing the click beetle does!)

Insect Cards Set #2

The second insect card set includes an image of the insect along with blank lines where students can copy the information they have learned.

Students can use the facts from the first set of insect cards to copy on the blank lines. This helps them to remember the facts about bugs and also provides great handwriting practice!
