The Creepy Crawly Cookout.....it occurred to both Dear Husband and I at the same time how interesting it was that they chose to serve hot dogs. Yummmmmy.Lil'Bug had a great time, mostly because she loves bugs and dear husband caught and jarred six specimens to be identified by the "expert" etymologists, and quite a bit because Mama B and her boys were there too.
I was not impressed by the undergraduate students (who were likely failing Bug 101 and needed extra credit) who identified 3 of our mystery spiders as.....spiders. Seriously. Our fly that looked like a bee....."I'm pretty sure that's a fly that looks like a bee," said the "expert" and our squash beetles, "Yes, that's definitely a bug." ???? Very disappointing. I am considering emailing their supervising TA (I asked and they provided me his contact information), on the other hand they were there, which is likely all they needed to be.
Dearest Husband says I'm being too hard on the undergrads.....they were nice to the kids and were enthusiastic about handling the bugs. Fine. That is true. :) So, I did NOT email their TA.
ReplyDeleteNo fair! You get to see Mama B and her sweet boys in real life?! Pooh! She is one of my fave fellow turtle lovers.
ReplyDeleteBug night looked like fun, despite the undergrads.;-)
