Insect thighs and drumsticks
Cornell has a great project for kids: Finding and documenting ladybugs, Hannah's favorite insect. Any kid's favorite insect. Over the weekend Tom found a huge praying mantis under a rung of his ladder, and we let it go yesterday after days of watching it chomp on store-bought crickets. Small crickets disappeared without a trace, but as for the larger crickets -- no dark meat, thank you very much. The floor of her insect catcher was littered with insect thighs and drumsticks, and I was sad that when she finally let the praying mantis go, they dumped it all out before I could take a picture.
