Last month the kids found some interesting bugs hanging out in the cracked kapok pods on the ground. After two days of playing with the bugs, we bought Isaiah (as part of his birthday countdown calendar) and the girls containers (couldn’t leave them out) to create habitats for their creatures.
Each child created his/her own home for the bugs. It was rewarding to watch our kids have such joy in catching, watching, and playing with bugs. They even observed them mating.
This seems to be bug season, so we’re getting lots of interesting things to observe!
A few weeks ago, we caught a spider holding her egg sack. We put her into a habitat and she held on to her egg sack for about two weeks. Then the spidlerings hatched. We let the babies and mom go the next day.
