Kids and Cicadas…

We are still in the midst of the 13 year cicadas that I posted about here and here. Kids are absolutely FASCINATED by them. Probably because they just sit there and let them pick them up, get them on a stick and carry them around. They seem to have no fear of hands coming at them or anything. One of the bagettes called them "dumb" maybe they are?

This is Bagette Alicia's daughter who I am told "likes to torture her older sister with them"…

 My Little Man is enamored with them…

 He collects many per day…

 Our bug box is getting quite the work out…

My Little Girl likes to collect them and compare sizes, we have learned from research that the females are the larger ones and that only the males make noise. They sometimes "scream" when you pick them up which is a bit disconcerting…

Today is the last day of school here, hope you have a good summer! Remember, check back tomorrow for another great freebie! Teresa
