Other Critters We Discovered

 Caelie didn't get a pet at the pet shop!

Deuce said no pets!

 (however, her Momma took her back for a lizard)

But - we did see a few critters

when we went to the pond to

feed the ducks.

We saw a dragonfly!

And the White Ducks!

And Brilyn's little brown duck!

(which has for some reason segregated itself away from the white ducks)

We saw a red winged black bird!

 And a couple of Tumble Bugs!

We had to research those Tumble Bugs

when we got back to the house.

We learned that Tumble Bugs

lay eggs and roll them up inside cow

manure to make dung balls - and that

the baby bugs hatch and use the

dung as nourishment. They eat their way

out. Then, they find a mate, lay an egg,

and the whole process starts all

over again. One egg per ball!

They were interesting little critters!

But - not very desirable pets!
