Here are three simple ways to say that sentence:

  1. The echidna sniffs out bugs as they move.
  2. When bugs move, the echidna uses its nose to smell and find them.
  3. The echidna finds moving bugs by using its nose to smell them.

How these changes were made, step by step:

  1. I picked shorter action words like "sniffs" and "finds" so the sentence is easier to picture.
  2. I tried different word orders (putting "when bugs move" at the start) to make the meaning very clear.
  3. I kept the main words simple: echidna, nose, bugs, move — good for a 7-year-old reader.
