I know this may come as a shock to some, but I grew up LOVING to collect bugs. Dad would drill holes in empty peanut butter jars and I would fill them with creepy crawlies. Now I have to have a major wad of toilet paper just to flush a cricket...
Anyway, recently Belle got a bug jar as a kid's meal toy and Daddy helped her find a ladybug (the only bug I will allow in the house) to put in her jar. They fed it an ant - yes ladybugs eat ants - and gave it a piece of wet napkin - that's how they drink apparently. The ladybug survived the night so Blake found him a friend.
Despite the abuse they have endured (being thrown, rolled, shaken, etc) they have survived a whole week!
Oh yeah, and Belle has special names for both ladybugs - Kh Kh Kh (very hard "K" sound three times). She also has doll named Catch-a-did-id-owy... no idea where that came from:)
