A Bug's Life

This here is our specimen box.

Don't let it fool you. It may look like an ordinary shoe box, but inside we have collected some of the summer's most interesting critters.

Disclaimer: No bugs were harmed during the collection process. All said specimens were deceased at the time of capture!!

Being a self-professed girly-girl, I know nothing about entymology. That is to say, I have no clue what any of these are except for the dead worm.

Jack, and sometimes Mattie, love our bug hunts.

We scoured every inch of this fence and noticed many unusual bugs in green and brown and black. One plank had so many baby spiders I felt a wee bit light-headed.

And this bush has been a flying bee, ladybug, wasp, you-name-it magnet this past week.
