an amazing little thing just happened by my foot. i saw a twirly tiny white thing fall down to the ground. it looked like a seed but i felt like it was a bug so i looked at it and it was moving a tiny tiny bit, but it had four thin long white wings that were five times as big as its body. i blew on it and it moved and two wings fell off and i felt bad and then it wriggled and the other wings fell off and it ran away uninhibited. it was just a little helicopter so it could get from the tree to the ground.

am i ready for bug time?

lua had an amazing idea (she is nine!) which is to take a flower press and dry bugs in it and then laminate them and make jewelry. kid witches....
what are the bugs that are all over the place?
flies
mosquitos
ants
bees

maybe dead fly wings or dried ants ;)
