A Four Year Olds Questions on Bugs - Entomology and Why We Collect Insects - one of my favorite posts

One of my FAVORITE posts! Children are smart, treat them that way!

My high school friend and her 4 year old daughter follows me on facebook and sees our many Insect Posts. She and her mom had a chat and here are some of the questions that resulted.

"E has a load of questions for you about the bug collection.  We've narrowed it down to the most important: do you collect your bugs alive or dead? Why do you put them in a box? How do catch them if they are alive? Did you ever get stung or bit when looking at the bugs?"

I L.O.V.E. Kids questions! They are so genuine and absolutely curious about every aspect of things "new to them." I took a lot of time to answer her questions and add a little more detail where I could.  These were good questions for a kid, and adults too.

Insect Cemetery - a Bug Collectors Goldmine at Indiana Dunes State Park

On a visit today to babcias house in Indiana, baby girl wanted to visit the beach. It was a chilly start to Memorial Day weekend! We sorted through some rocks, and were parked for maybe 10 minutes when she wanted to leave!!

On our way out we decided to climb a sand dune. But we were suddenly interrupted when we came across this pile of sticks. You can see how small of a pile it is compared to baby girl. There were dozens of dead lady bugs, ants, and a wife variety of beetles.
