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.

Before the Storm

Who knew that before the storm comes the creatures are still out and about. Maybe because it was a perfect weather, not too hot and a little breezy in the beginning. This photo is taken right before we went into the house, of course by this time, the wind had picked up it looked like the sky was going to open and poured out the rain. Believe it or not, the storm passed by us, the sky cleared up and not a single drop of water came down.

Peek-A-Boo

I see you.... He was a small guy and very patient,
he didn't mind playing with me.


He looks great with the purple Thai basil flowers.

After the storm passed by we found this stink bug nymph.
It looks like he has a smile on his back.
