Mrs. Lucadou,
I’ve enjoyed reading about your science adventures on your
blog. I’ve seen some pretty cool species this summer, and I thought some of our
students might like to see some pictures.
I saw this spider in
Decatur, Texas
at my friend’s house. It was outside on their patio. At first I thought it was
a fake spider, but then it started to move! I was not a big fan of this fellow.
He may look small in this photo, but you can tell that he is almost the size of
the brick. I’m glad I don’t see spiders like this at my house. My friend said
that it is not a poisonous spider, but I still didn’t want to get too close!
We also saw this nest of
baby birds in
Decatur.
The mama bird had built the nest on the patio, on top of a stereo speaker, but
she wouldn’t come feed the babies with all of us loud people sitting close to
it. My friend carefully took the nest down, and we moved it to a nice new
location in a nearby tree. The baby birds were so cute! I hope the mama found
them and continued to take care of them!
This is just a box
turtle that I found at my house. My daughters enjoyed watching him for a while,
but he mostly hid in his shell when they were nearby. He eventually wandered
off to find a nice place to settle in.
Look at this cool
insect! It is a locust, and it is in the same family as a grasshopper. This guy
was way bigger than any grasshopper I’ve ever seen. He was about 2 inches long.
We saw him at Bear
Creek Park,
which is close to where I live.
I’ve been enjoying the sights of summer, except maybe with
that big spider! I hope your summer is going well too!
Mrs. Brown
