BUGS!

Before Will's soccer game today we went to an insect show at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College. 


The hissing cockroaches were Will's favorite.


A HUGE woolly worm!

These were called Bess beetles and they say they make good pets - I don't plan to confirm that!

A praying mantis.

Another cockroach


Cockroach races!  Will chose one named Stinky to race, of course!

The praying mantis again

We learned that worker honey bees live about 5-6 weeks and make only 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in that time!!


Will pointing out his favorite big bug from the jungles of Indonesia.

He is touching a leaf mimicking bug (a BIG one) on this tree.

He really liked the huge millipede too.

I've seen lots of walking sticks, but never one this big!

Another HUGE leaf mimicking bug.

The little speck is the termite following the ink line on the paper.

A closer view of the hissing cockroach.  (Just in case the other pictures weren't creepy enough!)
Will WISELY refusing to hold the scorpion.
And last but not least - the tarantula!!
