Our Bug Collection

 

This is our new bug collection site.  The first one in our collection is a deceased butterfly we found on the asphalt at a local gas station.  It was pretty so we kept it.  On the way home we decided to scan it and start a collection.

We found this rather deceased bee on the sidewalk 

 of a shopping mall in Elko.  We named him lefty

as he is missing the middle left leg.
