Journaling:
A Black-legged Meadow Katydid that Todd found in his kitchen. He asked for our bug jar and snagged it up so Tizzy and I could look at it. Originally we thought it was a grasshopper, until I put it into my Seek App on my phone. After we were done, we released it over by the neighbors bird feed where there is lots of grass for it to hide in. And do whatever Katydid’s do. . . .
Since our last nature walk through the woods, Atizle has been terrified of spiders. We’ve been working on it. We’ve been reading Charlotte’s Web and talking about spiders and all the good things they do. But today Todd found this Spotted Orbweaver spider hanging out between his car and Liver's car. So he snagged it up in the bug jar so we could get a nice close look at it. Tizzy said it was SO CREEPY and scary! But she couldn't stop looking at it (although she was shrieking like the whole time). He also got a bug that was wrapped up in the web and some of the web so the spider was hanging from the lid of the bug jar. So we were able to get a good look at the spider’s underside and watch it eat the bug, before we released it to a safe area nearby.
