One of the kids favorite things to do outside right now is hunt butterflies and other insects. They say they are trying to catch butterflies, but in reality they will catch anything that is small and does not bite. This includes, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, crickets, ladybugs etc... Kailyn has a knack for naming every single insect that comes to live in the little insect carrier. She is very dramatic when one of the little beings is let go by her little cousin accidentally and very sad when one dies during its captivity. She does all the things she feels needs to be done to keep them alive. Gives them food, water and shelter.
Today the kids had a play date and got to introduce their friends to their love of catching insects. All of them had a great time catching and examining the little critters. Only one dragonfly lost its wing accidentally via one of the boys.
Below are some pictures of them hunting and examining. I see a few future scientists in the group. :)
