welcome at my Insect Hotel - edited with open source LightZone: lightzoneproject.org/ full view: flic.kr/p/s4NdFQ
So I finished these cute moths last night and woke up this morning to find the hoop attacked by cats. I'm hoping I can save this, I wanted to use this in an insect themed quitl.
These guys sit fairly still for macro shots, and come in a variety of green blue, and yellow metallic colors around our Koi pond.
This little visitor settled on the window of my study. I took this pic from inside the room. Canon G11

These tiny "pearls" appeared on a clean plastic dish I had sitting on the drying rack in my sink. I assume they're insect eggs. What kind of insect would lay eggs on plastic?
Just out of curiosity I took the time and counted: 113 eggs! If anyone wants to double check to confirm the number, please let me know. :-P
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.

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!
Leaf-footed bugs (in several different species) have an interesting way of protecting themselves from predators such as birds: they mimic wasps; when simply resting, it is quite a stretch to imagine this resemblance but when the insects fly, and they often take flight when frightened, they make a buzzing sound that will make you duck, also have a reddish color on their back (hidden when their wings are closed), and finally, have large flanges that cause their hind legs to droop as they fly, giving the general image they present in flight as admirably wasp-like, which in case that doesn't work well enough and the bug is caught in spite of its disguise, it does have one more defense, squirting stinky liquid out of small orifices on each side of its body, the scent glands on their thorax
