University, are still learning about all the different. ways bugs communicate. Crickets use sound, fireflies. flash light, moths attract each other with odors, and honeybees use a dance to tell other bees the. location of food. Communication is the transfer of. information between two individuals. Like most. animals, insects use their five senses (sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing) to gather information about. their surroundings. You can pretend you are an insect and make your. own language. Pretend you are a firefly and use. flashlights to communicate or act like a cricket and. use clicking noises. You can also pretend you are a. moth and see if you can attract or repel your friends. with different smells.
