Not as hot today. 
We have been busy so I haven't been up the garden, but daddy gave me a present when he got home. It is a net with 5 caterpillar chrysalis inside.  We will take photos of them over the next week  to see how they change.

It has been a hot day.
I haven't been up the garden much today because I went swimming after school.
Woke up and found a spider in the living room. It was high up so daddy had to take the photo. It was dark and the flash went off. Daddy jumped because he thought the spider was going to land on him. The flash has made the photo look scary!


Sorry, we tried to post this yesterday but the photo would not load.

At 5pm is very hot in the garden.
I have seen lots of bugs today.  Daddy lifted up a big stone and we found lots of ants.  We took a photo of it.  I hope it doesn't make you scratch!
Then I found another snail on our wall.  I don't think it is as colourful as the other one.  I took a photo of it anyway.  I like it.

Wow! Another hot day.


At 6pm daddy and I took the camera out into our back garden.  There were lots of flies flying around, but we didn't want to take a photo of them.  Then we heard a bee near the flowers, so we took a photo of it.
We tried to take a photo of some ants, but they kept running away (now we can't stop scratching).
After a bit we find a strange bug.  We took a photo of it and searched the internet to find out what it is.  We believe it is called a shieldbug.  What do you think it is?

It's another hot day!!!
It's 9:30 am and day 2 of my garden bug hunt... I scared my mummy by taking a photo of a spider in its web.
I found the snail on our wall. I liked the shell because it is colourful. What colours can you see?

Small Slug

Today the weather is really hot!  Daddy and I took the camera into our garden to take photos of the bugs we might find.

We first found a small slug.  We zoomed in so you can see it better.  You can also see its slimy trail.  Not sure how long it will last in the sun shine.

We also found a number of woodlice, but they kept running away.  It took us ages to take this photo, he was a fast runner.
