Grub Club

Rub - a - dub - dub, three insects in the shrub. Jack's beanstalk was surrounded by creepy crawly grubs. There were so many, they joined in a club. No wonder the leaves of the branches shook, when the caterpillars wriggled, they almost became unstuck ! Some of the insects climbed up the trunk, they wobbled so much, the woodpecker thought they were drunk. Rub - a - dub - dub, three spiders in the tub. When the bubbly water splashed, they took a scrub. And one of the daddy long legs came to give him a rub.

Can you guess what the creepy crawlies are ? Some of them even got stuck in a jam jar.
