BUGS...

Well, since bugs are practically a way of life out here I thought I'd put a spin on it and get Zoey interested, rather than scared of them like me. So far, she has raised 5 Painted Lady Butterflies from caterpillars and we are working on a trichordestra legitma moth caterpiller that we captured. Also, 11 ladybug (Coccinellidae magnifica)larvae have just entered into pupae stage. I will not do spider education though...the line was drawn on that (in concrete) years ago.
