Another Summer Adventure

Thu, 31 May 2007 15:00:00 -0500

Hello.
I caught a black stinging   caterpillar about   1 and a half weeks ago.
He made a cocoon, which makes a moth.
A chrysilis makes a butterfly.
He is black, white, and orange.
These pictures are of the same moth.
Does anyone know what type it is?

I also went boat riding. We saw a lot of alligators. There was one that was on a log.    I have a picture.    The   green on him is algae. There was another one that ran off the bank and into the water. There were so many.   I don't think I can name them all .

This is an alligator in the water:

There was a part of the bayou where it dropped into a big ditch.   It drops 5 or 6 feet.
It is a dam.    Their was a snake by the drop.

When I was cutting the grass I saw a toad by the swimming pool.
I found 2 more by the tree house. I don't have a picture .

Bye.

Bugs and the Bricks Down Under

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:10:00 -0500

The other day I was moving bricks for my grandmother. It was muddy under the bricks. I saw a lot of roly-polys under them. A roly-poly is a pill bug.
I also saw lots of spiders, a snail, and a worm.

Today I saw a black bug in our swimming pool. I think it was a water strider because it looked like it was skimming across the water.
I also saw a cricket near the pool.

Have you seen any bugs?

This band is called The BugManJoes. Cool, huh?

My Bug Collection

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 21:56:00 -0500

Hey, everyone.
I have a bug collection.
It is made up of: grasshopper
                           cicada
                           cicada shell
                           moth
                           bombardier beetle
                           water bug shell
                            butterfly wing
                            and 2 beetles (I have to find their names)

I also have some bees' honey comb, a paper wasp nest, and a cool rock that I broke with another rock. It has flint inside it.

Now I have a joke for you, but it's not a bug joke:
Why did Superman cover himself in mayonaise?
Because he wanted to make a hero sandwich.

Godzilla

Sun, 12 Mar 2006 20:35:00 -0600

Today I caught a reptile. It was Godzilla! He shoots fire from his mouth!
Just joking.
It was a 5cm lizard. It bit me. It did not hurt. He has small teeth.

Here is a picture

Bug Hunting

Fri, 23 Dec 2005 00:48:00 -0600

Hello bug fans, this is Bug Man Joe!
Today I'm going to talk to you about snails.
Did you ever see a snail when it's head is out of its shell?
I have. I have a picture of one to show you.
I caught a lot of bugs today, but I'm going to show you the snail I caught.
The reason I'm telling you about the snail is because it is the coolest because I've never caught one before. It is a small snail.
I caught it using a bug vacuum. I also have a habitat for my bugs to live in.

Snails are not bugs. They are mollusks. Mollusks include snails, squids, and octopi.
This is my snail inside the bug habitat. It is climbing up the side of the mountain.

I also caught some beetles. I caught some small ones and some larger ones. It was hard to get them with my vacuum because they were hanging on to the grass. They were also digging through the dirt. I found them at my grandma's house.

I also got three roly-polys. We found a jack-pot of them, but only took 3 so the family could keep growing.

I caught 2 centipedes too. They are kind of like worms with legs. They get under things and crawl in circles. They are hard to catch especially when they swim through the dirt. It looks like they swim. It was so tough my vacuum couldn't suck it up so I had to use my tweezers to catch it.

I found a lot of cool bugs today. Tomorrow I will catch more and write all about them.

Thanks for reading my blog. I hope you enjoy the adventures of BugMan Joe!

Meet the Bug-Man

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 00:38:00 -0600

This is Bug-Man Joe talking to you. I don't kill bugs. I am not an exterminator. Bugs are our friends. Take the dragonfly for instance. They eat mosquitoes, which is bad for the mosquitoes but good for us.

My name is Bug-Man Joe because I like bugs and science.

This is an example of how a frog eats a bug. Thank you. Good night.
