I headed out to Emily Murphy Park with Winnie, Dave and Dustin to help Charlene collect bugs for her entomolgy class. The park is small but right near the river’s edge and this is where we spent most of our time. Had a couple of health nuts cycle by with curious looks. it was kinda funny.
Lightly raining and only one collecting net but a whole lotta empty film containers for the little suckers.
I developed a nice swoop technique with the net (I claimed it as mine!). Patent pending! caught a great many little flying thing with that. Scaring myself with big “bugs” (leaves) in the net happened at least once or twice.
Dave and Dustin moved logs and rocks to uncover little scurrying things while Winnie used a poking stick to collect her little crawlies.
Charlene “supervised” by organizing the filled containers with unfilled ones and helping me transfer the critters from the net to the conatiner.
Homemade pie and icecream for snacky at my house later! yay!
