Bug Lady!

We had a bug lady as our guest today! She had some really amazing bugs with her that we got to see, feel and even hold. We even invented a new word "ticklish"! This is how it felt to have the painted lady dance on our hands. We had a Isopod (Rolly Polly) walk over our hands but he kept trying to escape. The millipede was named Mr. Mustashio because it look like his little feelers were a mustache. One student described holding him "it feels like a little massage"-Sam. We also met Camilla the tarantula, we didn't hold her because she was shy but we did get to "shake her hand". Lastly, we learned about and held a great, big Vinegerou, which sprays vinegar out of his tail when he is frightened and as we headed out the door we looked closely at a scorpion. It was all super interesting and we learned a ton about their exoskeletons, what they eat and what kind of defenses they have.
