Erika and her friend, Heather, are in the Zoology Honors Science class this year. They have to collect 100 bugs of 17 different orders, pin them and label thems by October 13. They have been trying to collect bugs since school started. We are not sure how many bugs they have, but hopefully 100 soon. Heather and her and being doing it together. They went to Vivian Park a month ago at night to collect water bugs and night bugs. When they catch them, they either have to put them in a jar and soak a cotton ball with acetone to kill them, or they have to put them in the freezer. So far, they have 13 different order. The hardest ones to find are termites and head lice. Yeah, you heard right, LICE!! Not sure how they are doing to collect lice, but we have asked the school nurses if they can help us out. The bugs have to be pinned the correct way and be labeled correctly, or they will lose points. We wish that we had known in the summer time when the bugs were more previlant. We can't find the Junebugs now that it is cold, nor can we find the squash bugs. We went to the BYU Gardens today during General Conference sessions to find somemore bugs. We found some, but not very many. Of course, the bees are really out right now. So, if you have any cool bugs (that have to be six legged), please help us out and bring them to us.
