Samuel's First Bug
















































Samuel was so excited when he found this little guy in the grass one morning. He asked me if he could keep it as a pet. So we found a plastic bottle, poked holes in the top of it and started to put dirt, grass and twigs in it. He had fun talking to his new little pet during the day. Later in the afternoon he wanted to take the ladybug out of the plastic bottle. So we took the bug out and a few minutes later I hear him crying, "Mommy, it's biting me!" It turned out this was not a ladybug after all. I looked them up online and they are called Asian Lady Beetles or Asian Ladybugs. I'm glad that Samuel had fun taking care of this new little pet, even if it was just for one day.
