Entomology Pictures

We went on an "Insect Hunt" with another family that was kind enough to let us use

their aerial and sweep nets.

Our children did catch some of these insects, but again, the kind family that we went on the hike with shared some of theirs. They showed the children how to pin them to the styrofoam boards.

Entomology!

I am so excited!

We joined 4-H a few months ago, but have only been able to go to 2 meetings. Most of the kids in our group show Goats and that is about it. We thought about it, but the way this pregnancy has been going, I am not up to taking care of more kids! So, I thought we might just lay low the rest of this year and see what happens with our life and start fresh next year. Then, the newsletter came! It had a few entomology classes and field trips. That is right up our block and now "E", "I" and "A1" are all very excited about catching and displaying insects! I can even use this for science for school!
