retrieving his bevy of bugs. Users may select from 50 different insects, <strong>and</strong> as they progress through the<br />

program, each time they complete a game successfully, the bug they have chosen is returned safely to one of Dr.<br />

Pantz's laboratory vials.<br />

This is a simple yet extensive travel into the realm of insects that will both entertain <strong>and</strong> educate young children.<br />

Some of the features of this software include a fact page on every bug, covering topics such as appearance <strong>and</strong><br />

diet. Users may learn abo ut the size of the bug by clicking a ruler icon, see an enlargement of the insect by<br />

clicking a magnifying glass icon, or view a brief movie clip of the creature in action by clicking on a film icon.<br />
