Our Friends the Bugs


















We found these super fun bug houses for the kids. They are always finding bugs and needing a home for them. Rolly Pollies, Grasshoppers, gnats, spiders and ladybugs have all tried out our Lady bug playground. The Ladybugs seemed to like it the most and really do climb around on that little loopy thing, and up under the plastic mushroom! The kids have little reservation about picking up bugs. The other day I had to tell Isaac to put the spider in his hand down, and explain why spiders probably aren't the best bug (Yes I know it's an arachnid, but a bug to him) to carry around. We're still working on that. Thankfully, no bites yet. Did you know a few years back, the government of Ohio decided to import 88,000 Asian Lady beetles to come and eat the aphids that were destroying the foliage of hard wood trees. We're thankful for Ladybugs!
