Earlier today, while we were in our back yard, my daughter found some insects that fascinated her. She bent down to take a closer look. She chattered excitedly about the flurry of activity going on at the anthill, and I snapped the above photo.
When I was around my daughters age, I started reading a lot about ants. They really fascinated me, and at times I would watch them for hours.
Ants are amazing creatures, did you know that…
- Ants bury their dead
- Ants raise crops
- Ants milk aphids
. Thanks to that book (which is well over 700 pages) we’re able to identify a lot of insects. Which is perfect for our insect hunts.

Oh she’s so cute!
@pinkielarue – Thanks, yeah she’s my little sweetpea. She’s a positive soul, so caring and always looks out for her friends, and her mommy too. 😉
Aw she is just a little beauty! Looks like she was having fun hehe.
They are lovely shots.
@kaozz – Thanks, yes we had so much fun outside even if it was a humid 95F. 🙂
@Jon Storey – Thank you, love your shots too, for some reason I cannot post at your site. I’ve been by there a few times. In the drop down box I’m not able to select Name or url. Only options are the ones tied to the free WordPress which I don’t have.
She is so beautiful! Great pictures, my boys LOVE bugs too (as do I)…
@Maira Grove – It’s always nice to meet other bug lovers. Many people look at me like I’m crazy when I talk about our insect hunts. 🙂
Speaking of insects…any natural ways to RID ticks from pets? OMG…I have had pets my whole life and NEVER had encounted a tick until this past weekend! And our furbabies are indoor family members!!!!
