Count down to baby moths! Day 2

This afternoon, when I came back from color guard, I discovered there were two sets of new eggs in Ginger's cage! Which means she's still alive and well. 

I was confused on how there were so few when moths usually lay about to about 40. So I'm sure more are on the way! I wonder if they'll all hatch at once...

Count down to baby moths! Day 1

Im all ready for the baby months! They should hatch in 2-10 days.

Sadly, female moths die after giving birth, but Ginger is still doing well, so I'll keep ya'll updated.

Ginger's a mom!

This morning I woke up and I saw tiny little white dots on a leaf in Ginger's cage. I looked closer, and sure enough, they were eggs!

She looks really tired, but hey, I would be too if I just gave birth!

Attack of the tiny black bugs

Today, I had tag day for my color guard. We stood outside of Walmart and held a sign and people gave us money. I was there for hours, and while we were standing out there, there were these tiny black bugs, that kept landing on us. I didn't get any pictures, but this is what they looked like:

They're called weevils. Very interesting name. They were really annoying, and they flew. But they didn't bite...it was like they just wanted a little attention.

I named her Ginger. She's beautiful. 

Have you found any neat bugs lately?

Baby Pill Bugs!!

Today, I went out to that ant colony I found on Tuesday, and I ended up getting more than just ants. I got a beetle a spider, and some pill bugs. Which is what this post is about.

I had them all in one jar while I was outside because I only planned on getting ants, so I had to divide them all up. So while I was getting the beetle out of there and the ants, I noticed that someone gave birth in the whole process. I thought to myself, those don't look like ants, and the ants I got aren't the ones that give birth and they're certainly not that beetle or the spider...So I decided they were pill bugs and they are so adorable I tell you. I will try to get pictures, but they're so small and white! SO CUTE.
