dirtyjew?!?), this post contains pictures of our bug.
Funny thing is, we discovered tonight that our bug is actually TWO bugs! I was coming upstairs and found what appeared to be our bug at the top- on his back, antennae barely moving. (I will admit to being a bit saddened that he looked so close to heading to bug heaven.) I eventually was able to get him to grip onto the end of a Q-tip and brought him downstairs to chill on one of the plants.
I went back upstairs and, to my surprise, found his twin just outside the bedroom door (a mere 2 feet from where I had just rescued poor bug #1). I snapped a few pics and was going to let him go on his way when Luka decided that bug #2 looked like a fun plaything and pounced. I spent a good 5 minutes trying to get Luka to go away so I could scoop bug #2 up and safely transport him down the the plant to be rejoined with his twin. Who would have figured someone could get so worked up over a couple of bugs?
Anywho...

Re: Mom? Dad? What are you doing all the way out there??
Date: 2007-02-09 04:10 pm (UTC)I will still admit to a certain skeeving with the spiders and bugs, but if I am not startled by them, I almost immediatley find them cute. Even when I am startled by them, I know that the fear is my issue and nothing that they have done. I refuse to kill any but the most dangerous and agressive of them in my home. Even those I do my level best to relocate without violence.
Kat should be proud of her compassion to our crawly friends. The measure of civilization is how we treat those less powerful. Being kind to a bug is the paramount of enlightenment. Of course, that view point has nothing to do with my name! ;-)
