Heather's Best Buggy Tips
To find your own "bad boys":
- Get down and dirty: I lay down on the ground close to bugs.
- Gently turn over logs or rocks: I put them back when I'm done.
- Leave on a night light: Later, I check to see who has visited.
If you are really good:
- Don't catch them: I spy on them instead.
- Catch them in the act: I sketch or write about them in my journal.
- Visit the same spot over and over: I discover who lives in the neighborhood, sneak down their trails after them, peak in on them eating dinner.
