En-to-mol-o-gy: The
branch of zoology concerned with the study of insects

| Our cool bug exploring hats |
In May Jesse started taking Master’s classes studying
science for educators with a focus in entomology. So far he has completed one semester of
summer classes and is getting ready for fall classes. It is not uncommon for our co-workers to see
us chasing around butterflies, moths, beetles…basically anything with six legs,
and freezing them. He has been doing a
GREAT job balancing classes and work and I will do my best to continue
supporting him even when his bugs take up my freezer space and I find one forgotten in the warm oven after 3 hrs …*ahem
Of course out of all the wonderful bugs out there, I would
have to agree with my husband that butterflies and beetles are my
favorite. Beetles are fun to pin and
butterflies…even though they are stupid…are great for practicing
photography. Jesse and I had so much fun
the other week visiting the Butterfly Palace in Branson, MO and working on our photo skills!
*Warning: Even
though people considered our time in S. Korea to be dangerous because of nuclear threats and what not…It
seems to us that Korea is nothing compared to all the venomous snakes, tarantulas,
black widows, poison ivy, and scorpions we have found crawling around and
getting into our homes while in the South.
Wow, those pictures are beautiful!! And i love the cool bug catching hats =)
