Looking for my homeschool links and resources? Click the resources button (the question mark with a little bee in the other side-bar). I have a ton of homeschool and home management links there!
I use Homeschool Tracker for all my homeschool record keeping. You can try the free version, but I much prefer the plus version - which has a lot more options and a cool Amazon auto-fill ISBN gizmo that makes recording books a breeze.

Okay, so I don't care for the bug but I know my 8 year old son would! Life in Orlando is just full of bugs, everywhere. Too many for me. I am ready to move somewhere where it gets cold again so they die off... Sad but true. You are just too fun of a mom! Sue in Orlando FL
The Green-Back Barbed Dung Bug. In it's larval stage, of course.
Sue - Do show it to your son! Don't give up on us Southerners just yet. I am not more fun than any other mom. I'm just a bit eccentric. ;)
You are just amazing! I looked up images of the bug you suggested and Google has nothing. It is amazing to me that they are "undiscovered" by the internet. I'm glad I didn't try to figure out what that poo on their backs was first hand! YUCK. I had certainly never seen it before. Although, now that you say what it is, I've never seen a full grown one that I can think of, either. Is it the same thing as a dung beetle? I saw the lifecycle of a dung beetle and the larvae look much different than our bug. We have an aunt who works as an entomologist, but she isn't big on email... so I thought I would put the photo here first! Way to go, Erin - you smartie britches!
By the way, Kaden was first seen with this bug holding it and saying, "Bad bug! Bad, Bad, Bug!" It apparently bit him... though not really that hard.
Erin - that middle part was for you! Sorry, I deleted your name off somehow when I copied it to post! :)
I'm gonna say this is the second most ugly bug in the world bug. ICK!! What's the first ugliest bug in the world you ask? Well I'll tell you it's this disgusting big guy. It's called a house centipede and they are in MY house!!!! The first time I saw one of those climb out of my sink I was ready to pack up and move! I'm getting all nervous and sick thinking about it!!
