A detail from Sophia's 7th grade insect project that we worked on all summer, starting with catching the bugs, then identifying them, storing them in containers with a little card with their name on it, then finally arranging them on foam board with a typed out information card, pinning them and making a wooden frame for it. We caught bugs in our backyard, on a camping trip, in Greece and in Colorado. We caught everything from a spiked oak borer to a yellow-legged mud dauber wasp to an Iberian scarce swallowtail butterfly to a bald-faced aerial yellow jacket to a velvet long-horned beetle to an American cockroach. This is the centerpiece, a Dawson fly caught by a friend golfing in Hawaii.

La consommation d'éphémères n'est pas rare au Burkina
The consumption of mayflies is common in Burkina Faso, particularly in rural areas. These insects often appear in the evenings, attracted by light, following heavy rains. They are easily caught by pouring water on the ground and then sweeping it up. It is then a matter of cleaning them and then grilling them before being able to consume them. Niger locusts and caterpillars are also two other types of “insects” very appreciated by the population.
Faso, tout particulièrement dans les zones rurales. Ces insectes apparaissent souvent les soirs suite à de grandes pluies attirés par la lumière. Ils sont facilement attrapables en versant de l'eau à terre puis en balayant. Ilo s'agit ensuite de les nettoyer puis de les griller avant de pouvoir les consommer. Les criquets du Niger ainsi que les chenilles sont également deux autres types d'"insectes" très appréciés par la population.

While with my Grandson – got a short clip of a couple of insects – first is likely a darter – not sure what the other is. You can hear, in the back ground, a spotted sandpiper calling and a red-winged Black bird. June 24 2017
52 Weeks: Week ~ SOOC. I never do insects, but I got a new lens and was sitting for a while next to some great insect attracting plants, so here they are. Not sure if this is a dragonfly or not -- let me know.

The elegant insect necklace! Beautiful black lace is accented with tiny foil lined beads and a vintage prong set clear rhinestone but has a strange little surprise. The focal is a brass beetle which adds just a touch of the unusual to this elegant bib necklace. Each tiny bead was hand sewn onto the black lace using sturdy nymo thread. The beetle is also sewn, not glued, on - he will stay put on this one of a kind art to wear necklace. I added soldered, silver plated jump rings to each end of the lace section and then strung short lengths of bronze, golden and white freshwater pearls accented with more of the tiny foil lined beads. The pearl sections end in another jump ring through which is threaded a double length of satiny black ribbon.
