Entomology For Kids

Audrina and I spent a good portion of our morning working on the garden. Oh, believe me, it was work. A previously relaxing hobby has come to resemble some sort of reflex testing, designed by a sadistic carny. My daughter, in her vast love of bug life, was completely unaware of how many times she almost lost a finger. Imagine, if you will, placing the very tip of a digging tool into the dirt, only to have a small child dig around the side of said tool while one is trying to use it. My lovely daughter's response to a number of pleas to be safe? "It is ok mommy, I know you would never hurt me!" Obviously, I am taking a break right now. She can help grandma garden. I will just have to stealth dig. I also need to find a decent full color book of bugs, preferably Wisconsin bugs for my little sweetpea. It amazes me how much I do not know about millipede anatomy. Really, I care.
