Mushi dokugo

Mushi dokugo is a Japanese word that means "toxic insect". Imagine you are playing in your backyard and you see a bug that looks a little different than the ones you usually see. This bug has bright colors and looks very interesting, so you decide to pick it up. But be careful! Some bugs can be poisonous, which means that they can make you very sick if they bite or sting you.

Mushi dokugo refers to these poisonous bugs that you should be careful of. Think of them like a hot stove or a busy street. Just like you need to be careful around those things to stay safe, you also need to be careful around mushi dokugo.

Some examples of mushi dokugo are certain types of spiders, scorpions, and caterpillars. If you see a bug that you think might be mushi dokugo, it's best to leave it alone and tell a grown-up so they can help you stay safe. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to dangerous bugs!
