I get so much excitement when I meet adults who still have such a joy of learning and passing it on. The other day, we went to see Ruud Kleinpaste (The Bugman) here in The Sunny Bay. He let his three pet wetas (George, Dorothy aka dot@dot.com, and Betty) crawl all over his face!!!
OOPS!!! Ruud got pooped on by the weta. Nope, he didn't flick it off... instead he passed the poop around with great excitement to be sniffed etc 
and then.... (this is the really scary part) Ruud passed the **wetas** around with all sorts of dialogue about how they tell what the weather is gonna be like (pop their derrières out of the tree and sense it on their back-feelers..) etc. 
J11 was brave enough to hold one...(photo credits: Deb, with huge love)
OOOO! Cool and creepy! I'm a lover of nature, but I don't think I'd be brave enough to hold one of those - or sniff it's poop! =) LOL!
ReplyDeleteIcky! I had to do a bug collection for biology class in high school. That was dealing with insects for me!
ReplyDeleteUgh! But at least they weren't spiders!
ReplyDeleteparty on, girls! Stop by my place for today's funny stories!
Ewwww! Money would have had to be involved for that one. Very impressive, though. You sure know how to throw a [gross-out] party. I'm coming back for Halloween. :-)
