Jeff and Lucy are visiting an insect ecology center to discover more about the wonders of nature.
J: Wow! Look at all these insects in the display cases.
L: Cool! This butterfly collection is amazing.
J: It’s hard to believe they all started out as tiny caterpillars.
L: I know. Nature is truly incredible. I’m going to the dragonfly section over there. Did you know they can fly in all directions—even backward?
J: Really? I had no idea. Hey, check out the size of this moth. Can you imagine that thing flying at you in the middle of the night?
L: Ugh. Don’t creep me out!

露 西: 太酷了!這個蝴蝶收藏太驚人了。
傑 夫: 很難相信牠們最初都是小小的毛毛蟲。
露 西: 對啊。大自然真是不可思議。我要去那邊的蜻蜓區。你知道牠們可以朝各個方向飛 ── 甚至是向後嗎?
傑 夫: 真的嗎?我完全不知道。嘿,看看這隻蛾有多大。妳能想像牠半夜朝妳飛過來的樣子嗎?
露 西: 哎呀。別嚇我!
