Let’s go step by step to solve each question using the picture graph.
First, let’s count how many of each insect are shown:
-
Caterpillar: There are 6 caterpillars (count them one by one).
-
Ladybug: There are 5 ladybugs.
-
Bee: There are 2 bees.
-
Butterfly: There are 4 butterflies.
-
Spider: There are 7 spiders.
Now we’ll use these numbers to answer each question.

3. How many more butterflies than bees were found?
Butterflies = 4
Bees = 2
Subtract: 4 - 2 = 2
✔ Answer: 2

4. How many bees and spiders were found?
Bees = 2
Spiders = 7
Add: 2 + 7 = 9
✔ Answer: 9

---
7. How many butterflies and bees were found?
Butterflies = 4
Bees = 2

✔ Answer: 6
---
8. How many insects were found in all?
Add up ALL the insects:
Caterpillar (6) + Ladybug (5) + Bee (2) + Butterfly (4) + Spider (7)
= 6 + 5 = 11
11 + 2 = 13
13 + 4 = 17
17 + 7 = 24
