Bugs on Wheels

to when a friend let me come grab this eastern eyed click beetle from their screen on their deck! Check out how these guys “click” their bodies as a form of self-defense, as well as to help themselves flip back up when they fall on their backs. It’s fun to put them on a hard surface and see how high they can “click up”. 🪲😄

Floki taking some sips of water just like a cat or dog. 🐶🐱 You can’t be mad at that, no matter how “scary” he may look! All of my little critters require water and food regularly to feel tip top, just like we do. So here is your Monday reminder to and 💧

Leaf bugs not only have excellent camouflage, but they have great mimicry skills as well. These creatures know what they are trying to emulate, so sometimes when I lightly blow on them, they start to shake and curl up their abdomen to mimic a leaf that is blowing in the wind. How amazing is that?! 😀🍃

Last night my daughter was doing something that I also loved doing as a child, and honestly still love doing as an adult. 😉 She wass catching bugs, but specifically fireflies. Watching her pure excitement and happiness as she followed their glowing lights was definitely a core memory for me as a parent and it made me smile so much. 🥹 May we learn a lesson from children not to lose our childlike wonder and fascination with the beautiful world around us. 🫙✨🌎🪲

Time to give this girl a little green gummy worm! 🐛 😉 Feeding videos are always some of the most interesting. If there’s one tarantula that I have that I can count on to immediately attack whatever food I give her, it’s my Brazilian White Knee. I keep her in my amazing enclosure from that also doubles as wall art! This girl is gorgeous, but she’s sassy and she flicks hairs like crazy, so I don’t hold her. 😆
