More builders: caddis cases, paper wasps, moles, apes' beds and sand circles, sentence 5

Who acts: fly larvae, grains, case, artist · What happens: glue, carry, protect, give, make · To what, where: sand grains, case, soft bodies, gold flakes, bodies, jewel cases
This is a sentence of the lesson «More builders: caddis cases, paper wasps, moles, apes' beds and sand circles» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
