local bug = display.newImage( “goldbeetle.png” )
bug.x = 60
bug.y = 210
local function killbug (event)
local blood = display.newImage (“blood.png”)
blood.x = bug.x

The order images layer on top of each other defaults to the order you add them to the display. The tricky thing is that the killbug() function, and thus the newImage(“blood.png”) command in that function, isn’t run until after the display.newImage(“woodholes.png”) even though it is written before. Programs don’t flow straight from top to bottom, they jump around for stuff like for loops and function statements.

What you’ll need to do is bump up the wood to the top after adding the blood using this command:
