We have an ongoing "bug habitat" in our house.  Both boys use the habitat, but Hawken finds it particularly interesting.  The "habitat" is basically a plastic aquarium with plastic landscaping that we picked up at Target.  We have a bug field guide, and numerous smaller bug houses for travel. 

Hawken's most recent find was an inchworm hanging from a tree in our backyard. 

Hawken is trying to gently catch the inchworm.

The worm was inching along in his hand - it tickled!

Hawken made this worm a bed of leaves on the table, and then it got lost.  Luckily, we found another one.  It lives in our bug habitat now, with two "sleeping" ladybugs.
