So I have another week where I could find a couple more cartoons (to be honest I had already planned them out) for my "godson" and hear what his mom and dad have to say about watching MORE insect cartoons.
So first up: Happy Halloween (Samhain for those of you pagan inclined)!
For all the growers out there- this is what the caterpillars are doing in the spring in your field, garden, flower pot, yard, etc.
And finally but most importantly, another "dragonfly" for Matthew! To be honest the insects are actually damsel flies but I'll save that discussion for another day.
I hope everyone enjoys their week & has a Happy & safe Samhain!!!
We did have the sunflower insect byte due this week & wheat (links below) is due the following week so I took care of both of them so I could free up some time for research writing (YEAH RIGHT!!!).

Ah- so before I forget I rode me bike through City Park on my way home & another lace bug rode with me home. They are so pretty- at least I think they are pretty but I'm an entomologist what can I say? Lace bugs are pests on ornamental plants but I still like them maybe I would like them less if they wanted to munch on my "balcony garden."

Awesome post! I know this isn't technically for a "grade", but I like how you're making this blog your own. I especially like the YouTube videos. I wasn't familiar with Minuscule series, but now I am.
ReplyDeleteThank-you, I found the Minuscule series when I was having a bad day & I wanted a good laugh!!! I fully intend to post more cartoons when it's necessary!!
