Big Bugs




The "big bugs" were here in Okoboji for a few months this summer, and we made several trips to see them. The girls loved seeing the giant bugs scattered around in the woods, and I enjoyed walking on all the wooded trails out at the Lakeside Laboratory. It almost felt like New England! Libby ran and ran and had a blast. Lexi made us read the descriptions of each bug. Really, when is the last time you saw a 10 foot preying mantis? Super fun. If the bugs make it to your area, I highly recommend paying them a visit. What a beautiful way to learn about the world of insects!
