So gross! I had considered getting the Insect Lore ladybug kit, but I think I'll pass now!
ReplyDeleteThis is slowly destroying the cuteness factor of ladybugs.....
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with the pictures you are taking - so very detailed!
ReplyDeleteI believe you are all having way too much fun with all this bug watching. Great picture!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they didn't mention this on our ladybug larvae kit?
