Bug Hunting

Your rating: None

Have you ever taken the time to observe bugs? They are amazing creatures. They fly, buzz, sting, leap, and even light up.

What You Need: 

Clear container
Netting or waxed paper
Rubber band
Spoon
Overripe banana
Brown sugar
Magnifying glass

What To Do: 

A good way to attract bugs is to put out something sweet like a banana with brown sugar sprinkled on top.
Let the banana mixture sit outside a while, then spread it onto the bark of a tree.
Check it regularly to see what new bugs you have attracted.
Look through the magnifying glass and draw what you see.
Come out at night with a flashlight and see if there are any newcomers.
If you want to watch a particular bug, put it in your container with a bottle cap of water, a stick, and some green leaves.
Cover the container with netting or waxed paper (make sure to poke small holes).
Return your bug to the place you found him within twenty-four hours.
