Bugs!

We enjoyed a wonderful visit with family and a quick trip to Louisiana. 
It was sort of fun that on the day everyone left, this beautiful moth arrived on the ceiling of our garage! 

After the boy's naps this afternoon we went outside with our snacks.  While we were sitting there, we noticed caterpillars walking across the driveway one after the other.  H thought they would go perfectly in his bug box.  That was after we had a heart to heart conversation about not stomping on them (I think he's seen us stomp on too many spiders in the house lately.).

 He liked to get a leaf for them to crawl onto and then put them in the bug box.  He was very happy about his "carrerpirrars."

 

"They look yummy!"

He gave them some leaves, pine needles and green grass to a snack.

 "I'll catch the next one!"

H gave them a not so gentle release back in the wild.

I wonder what we will find outside tomorrow!

I will post pictures from our visitors in the next few days - as soon as we get over being sad that they are gone! We had such a fun time with all of our family!
