Kayla, Joshua and I have created a bug hunting ritual into our summer daily lives. When weather permits, not rainning or too hot, we take a little walk on our farm or to "Larry's Lane" to look for bugs. We sometimes also find interesting creatures in our herb garden. Our rule is simple: If it looks scary, (like a spider, or something that we don't recognize) leave it where you find it. I always bring my camera and document our findings so we can remember what we saw.
-----------------------------------------
This blog is to showcase our findings, some whom we left in nature, some whom made it to our bug catcher for a short trip home and release later at the end of the day, lastly some whom we kept a little longer for observation. No animals are purposely harmed during this adventure, occasionally just a little smoothered by Joshua and we try our best to return every creature to their home just as we found them.

Follow the Rule

This is a wolf spider with her babies. I thought when we first discovered her she was a spotted spider, but after looking at the picture closely we realized that those were her babies. We followed the rule and left them alone.
