Nature Nearby

Nature Nearby. Bugs found in our yard or at the local park...





Growing wild in the neighborhood:



We collect bugs that are already dead. We don't kill anything for our collection, though I must admit we have a few accidentally kept-in-a-bug-jar-too-long casualties in our little mini-museum. These guys we found on the road, while taking nature walks:



Nature *at* home: Amicus is growing, and that means shedding. Today we gave her a bath to help her get the old skin off...

your dragon sure is cute!!! Binky made a clay one last year and he looks quite similar to yours. i love seeing nature in other parts of the country. you have a great bug museum. we've had our own in-the-glass-jar-too-long deaths ourselves. that's probably why we haven't used any jars lately.
have a great week
