We did a bug box science experiment and went on a backyard safari to see what we could find and learn more about. Our science journal is growing - there is so much new stuff to explore up here in the hills!
 |
| The little explorers are ready |
 |
| ...and a big helper... |
 |
| We have found a weird, angry fly - that bit me!!! We didn't manage to find out its name... |
 |
| ...so we went looking for something else...and we found GOLD ants!!! |
 |
| They lived in this log! |
 |
| And they have a golden behind! |
 |
| Here is a picture we found on the Internet. It's a Golden-tailed Spiny Ant. Exactly the same as the one we found! |

 |
| Then it was time to do an entry in the science journal |
 |
| Found by: Elliot. Date: 5 May. |
 |
| Here's the finished journal entry... |
 |
| ...with all the information about the bug... |
 |
| ...and some drawings...about it bit mamma! |
Well done, Elliot! Now we know a lot more about the ants in our garden!
What a fun day! Ava always liked the science journal that Milla kept and we've been meaning to do the same but never get around to it. I think we need to get started - although not with bugs as we don't get many of those around here. I'm not going to complain about that! We might have to do a squirrel project. There are lots of cute, fluffy squirrels running around Berkeley :)
