The Insect Zoo is normally closed on Mondays, but we arranged for a private tour with just the troop late this afternoon (plus Daniel, always the Honorary Girl Scout). Here they are, gathered around one of the cages - I think it might have been a tarantula.
The girls loved the collections of butterflies. Annika's favorite was the "eye-catching blue."
We also got to pet/touch different insects! In case you were wondering, a tarantula's abdomen feels just like petting a furry rabbit's stomach....
Our fabulous tour guide, explaining all about insects to the girls. I was impressed that she even had a copy of the Bug Badge guidelines for Brownies and tailored her presentation to that.
Here they are, listening in rapture. I would vote Annika as the most super excited and Daniel as a close second.
It's too bad that "bugs" isn't an activity per se because our kids would be all over that!!
