What is it with kids and bugs?
My kids have had a huge fascination with bugs lately. They played with that tomato worm a while ago. And then we were at the park a little while back and they caught this praying mantis. They played with it for a long long time. Even th
e girls who were a little bit curious. S was the brave one and let it crawl all over him. He did get a little freaked out when it started to climb up his neck. At one point, he did a little freak out dance and the praying mantis went flying off. Then he picked it back up and did it again. He was hilarious. I think after a little bit though he realized that he lik
ed it much better when he just held the praying mantis in his hand. That little bug kept the kids quite busy for a long time.

Our kids would get along so well!
We will definately have to get them together next time we come up for a visit.
I would freak out too if there was a praying Mantis climbing up my neck! LOL!
That's fun your girls wanted to play too. The only bugs I would touch as a child were lady bugs and those roly poly ones...we called them potato bugs. :)
Kinda freaky, but cute!
whoa.. spooky... i don't like things that crawl on many legs...
Most of the time the simple things are the things they love the most!!
A praying mantis flew in the window of my bishop's truck and he totally drove into a mailbox!! That's what I think of when I see a praying mantis. :)
Isn't it funny how easily amused kids are?
