Crickets in the house

We've had a variety of crickets, grasshoppers, and moths as our house guests for the last couple of weeks.

L loves bugs, so Pops caught a bunch of insects for L to examine.

We read a book about crickets and another about grasshoppers.  And we've been feeding the crickets fruit, plant clippings, and water.

They seem to be doing ok.  However, I've informed L that this will be the last day with the bugs since I plan to free them all tonight.  He decided he ought to give them one last look and he got out some magnifying glasses.

I love how much L enjoys nature.  He's such a cool kid!
