I wish I could do what you're doing. But I don't think I could crawl around on my belly looking for and teaching my daughter all about bugs. I guess I'm just too squeamish. However, my husband and I together have caught about 5-6 snakes, poisonous and non-poisonous. Does that makes sense? That’s really amazing. I wish I could do what you’re doing.

Caterpillar on leg is an easy one to figure out - it's the one spot on the body that you can see a LOT of from your toddler vantage point and still be touching said beast! (I used to put bugs on my legs for the same reason.) This year, for fun, I purchased a Monarch butterfly rearing kit and spent a few weeks hanging out with the 'pillars and then watched the chrysalis form and change colours and .. butterfly! SO COOL. Even cooler? The kit came with tags to apply to the Monarchs so they could be tracked when they were released into the wild and make their way to Mexico. I'm, uh 32, and it was JUST SO COOL. And y'know, so did all of our neighbours. :) My husband and I had to give updates on a near-daily basis to everyone.

Wow, thanks for the tip on the leg thing — now that makes total sense! I just thought Boo was a little knee-obsessed.
