During this season we'll collect a fair share of lizards, praying mantises and other creatures that unsuspectedly get caught in my girls' mesh houses.
Kenna went out the other day armed with two ladybug lockets and a bug watch. Poor bugs.
Queen Cayli, however, seems to relish the beauty of fall and was quite content to leave the lizard-catching to her sisters.
One of their assignments this week was to photograph fall colors. Sadly in our area, it's either still very green or red. We do have a little yellow but not a whole lot in between the fall spectrum of colors.
Speaking of vibrant colors...fall brings the state fair at this time of the year. We had fun!
And remember this ugly guy? It's a nasty wheel bug. I've never seen one before and hope I never see another one. Apparently its bite is painful.
Many thanks to my cyber friends who helped me identify this little fellow. Some fellow homeschooling moms also suggested two more sites to our growing list of online bug guides:
Bug Guide
Insect Identification
