Bug House

Wednesday, June 5, 2013
I feel like there are a billion bugs always in my house!!! Last night I walked around the living room and swept up over 16 rollie pollies that were just walking all over - not to mention all the dead ones that are always behind my couch. Today I found a HUGE dead spider and named it Aragog. Logan gave its eulogy ("Farewell, Aragog, king of arachnids...").

Also last night I saw something above the front door. I didn't remember there being a spot there so I asked Logan to check it out. He was like "I bet it's a moth...oh wait! Anna come check this out!!"

So when I got up closer I could see that it was actually a baby gecko!!!
 He was so cute! He must have come in through the front door with one of us. I looked it up and he is called a house gecko. Makes sense to me considering that's when we found him!
 I got out a jar and put some of the mesh cabinet liner under the jar ring so he could have air.
He was fun to look at and watch crawl up the sides. They have the most amazing toes! Then, before bed, Logan said I had to let him go so we took him to a nice place outside in the bushes and said good bye.

Oh, yeah. We had another animal encounter last Sunday on our way to church. Logan stopped to save a turtle in the middle of the road that was over a foot long! The turtle thanked him by peeing all over his leg! lol.
