After its meal. Very fastidious insect. I wish I could get my son to clean his hands half as often.

I see some differences between the two moths but there is no point in arguing.

Esta foto não foi cropped. Foi tirado a vários metros de distância. Não sei que inseto é, mas o efeito na água da cacimba foi muito grande / This photo was not cropped. It was taken at several metres distance. I don't know what insect this is, but it caused enormous ripples over a very wide area. Fascinating!

Les tipules se rattachent à l'ordre des diptères (mouches, moustiques, syrphes...) et la famille des Tipulidae compte près de 200 espèces. Leur taille et celle de leurs pattes sont impressionnantes mais, heureusement, elles ne possèdent pas les organes buccaux et la trompe des moustiques femelles qui leur permettent de nous piquer.

"Tettigonia orientalis"

This insect was cautious and it was difficult to approach very much.

I took a picture of this little one yesterday afternoon in our day lilies. It was fascinated by my camera lens and kept trying to get closer, turning its head to look more carefully. Lots of fun to photograph, though I must say baby praying mantises are TINY! Focusing wasn’t easy, especially when the breeze kept blowing the day lilies around.

June and the air is thick with flying insects.

The children painted with worms (rubber); made a squish painting to show the mirror image of what they painted; made a super cute tissue snail and an insect crayon rubbing. The children then explored several sensory stations. Magnets; rings; fidget toys; sensory bins were multi-colored rice with lizards, dinosaur skeleton dig, fresh made play dough. Other sensory tables items included gel spiders, stack wood beads on a stick, counting and picking up numerous insects, and sensory houses.
