Bugs 'n Stuff (Warning--not for arachnophobics!)

I was a little worried that Ziga would be scared of bugs. I really try to control my reactions to large, furry insects, but hey--I'm only human. Fortunately there are some uncle figures that are not scared of bugs/worms/etc. and view these as learning opportunities for kids. Here are some of Ziga's recent encounters, and he has been nothing short of fascinated.

This lovely, unidentifiable (scary when Jurij & Mel can't figure out what it is) specimen was found near Teta & Jimmy's home. Fortunately he was DOA, allowing for closer examination.

Roly-polys in the garage yesterday. Lots of roly-poly carcasses vacuumed up today in the basement. Loads of fun for Ziga, who also is fascinated by the vacuum.

Poor l'il roly poly...

Very excited about the worms!
