Bug Camp


My friend Cheri, aka "The Bug Lady," holds bug camps in her home every summer. My boys love to go because she loves bugs even more than they do. It creeps me out to drop the kids off and pick them up some days, depending on what they are handling at the moment. Isaac's class was all about butterflies. He brought home a painted lady caterpillar and we watched it change into a chrysalis and then a butterfly. So exciting! Jacob and Isaac both went to the "Insects and Arachnids of Arizona" class and were holding real millipedes when I went back. They brought home an insect-a-soap to bathe with. Then, late one night, Noah and Jacob went scorpion hunting with Cheri. They used black lights and big long tweezers to catch their prey. Ugh.
