We picked up a hitchhiker today.... He was hanging around the car beside us and latched on with us.
He stuck with us from skating to the library... and waited for us outside as we picked up a book on the Drinking Gourd our folk song, a Spanish DVD & Bach's Magnificat.... inner library loan is great!!!!
Surprisingly he stuck with us all the way home!!! He always headed into the wind.... at times he had a leg or two flying...
See him still hanging on to the mirror??? He was great to watch the whole way!!! The better shot is him just before Lovebug sent him flying to the safety of the trees!!! I'm glad they did not cage him after his long journey!!!
He is a Fork-tailed Bush Katydid, Scudderia furcata
Family: Tettigoniidae, Long-horned Grasshoppers and Katydids
This is cool... Lovebug is just learning about... Kings Play Chess on Fine Glass Sets... the mnemonic for Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Here's Lovebugs versions... Kiss Princess Cause or Frog Gets Sick :)
We've added a science option on top of our AO study. This from the Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day by Jeannie Fulbright. We'll work at a slow pace... but this was fun!!!
Enjoying making connections!!! Grace! ss
