IN the spirit of getting ready for the chameleon to start visiting the school, after helping bring supplies for the terrarium into the Science room, Sebastian suggested that we catch insects and spiders with his new net on the playground. The net is a professional level sweeping net, often used in grassy fields to catch a variety of arthropods, by enthusiasts and entomologists alike. We spoke at some length about bees and wasps, and spiders but saw none. Sebastian climbed trees, and we talked about how in my fieldwork in Madagascar we climb over 100 feet high to collect voucher plants, and I pointed out on his climbing tree a small branch that would make a good herbarium voucher, pointing out it was good because it had some flowers in adddition to leaves, to help botanists identify the tree. Many trees in my work are unknown to science. saw some butterflies, including a Zebra longwing (yellow and black stripes), but did not catch it. The hour flew by, Sebastian was more interested to talk about animals than play his video or ball games-- AWESOME!!!
