All my entomological dreams come true...

Okay, so when I was little I wanted to explore the amazon for new, amazing insects. I was a bug collector, pinner of butterflies, and watcher of videos on spiders. The inner child was thus satisfied by our jungle trip. I caught butterflies with my camera instead of a net, and discovered some of the insects I had read of but scarcely dared believe in... Please, allow me to be indulgent with this blog...
















Harry also catches the bug... chortle, chortle... But really, we were both enthralled.


Look dad! - LEAF CUTTER ANTS!
