A Moth, a Grasshopper, and a Dragonfly Walk Into a Bug House

It sounds like a new twist on the age old joke, but it was what really happened. Except for the walking part, they were more snagged in a net and shoved in. But it was all in the name of science.

Both girls have bug nets. They enjoy trying to catch interesting things in them.

Sometimes that means you can accidentally "catch" your sister.

Oops.

Chloe has gotten pretty good at catching things. This is the first time I have seen her catch more than one. The moth was first, followed by the grasshopper and then the dragonfly. I am not sure how the bugs felt about sharing such close quarters, but the kids had fun watching them.

The Alexa went on to catch this massive dragonfly. I am not sure who was more surprised the dragonfly or Alexa. It was her first catch. It was so big it wouldn't fit in the bug house. We examined it in the net for a bit and then let it go. At which point Cabbie thought he would try his luck...

sorry bud.
