A Beach Outing And impromtu Bug Collection - The Insect results
These photos show the 198 before they have been sorted by species (color and size sorting). That'll help when i need to create all their labels. In the 2013 bug collection season I made the mistake of waiting until the end of the season to print all my labels - never again!!
LIFE IS STILL EXCITING AT OUR HOUSE!
With more insects. . .
AMI Studios Chicago
It's mostly baby girls videos and here slime making, she spends time with friends, goes on road trips, lots of coloring activities and make good choices while having fun. During the covid stay at home orders - she had many many many facetime pandemic playdates - we made time work for us and not be bored.
A Beach Outing And impromtu Bug Collection - The Insect results
Sorting the bugs and the 3 labels was painstaking.
We found a dozen true bugs (TBD), including the giant green one, last bugs big and small, ground beetles, cucumber beetles (a variety of species), flying ants and Mosquitos and a few beetles which I have yet to identify. That same week my mom asked if I'd catch (the June Bug) and release. I said that the bug world is in immeasurable volumes. Granted this find was all dead, however 2 live ones must've woken up by the time we arrived home. I will still conduct some live bug catching this year, and this bug cemetery find - which was about 2 feet x 3 feet of beach under driftwood - proves to me how enormous the insect world truly is!!
Luckily I think for this batch, only the Order / specimen labels will be unique as the location label will be identical for the bunch. Before this weekends bug find our collection peaked at 205 insect specimens. In one 1/2 hour of collecting on the Indiana Dunes Beach we nearly doubled our collection size!!! The balance was filled in by a few bugs found in Babcias house (2 june bugs, spiders, lightning bug, and 2 flies, officially doubling our collection). This is how we have a fast Beach Outing AND impromtu Bug Collection - thansk for letting us share Insect results
Now, I need to hint for a bug collection permanent box solution, since the size 002 pins don't fit my original Ferraro Roche clear boxes (from the last two years collecting).
It was a wonderful Memorial Day weekend - the bugs were just a bonus.
