mhhhmmhmhmhm

I'm doin good

I got bit by a beetle when I tried to bring it out of the basement (Thats what you get for tryin to help a bug)

A spiders egg sack hatched on the bottom of my swing and a million tiny spiders emerged (this is actually good news, I love baby spiders)

I found out that an earwig was chillin in my headphones, didn't realize until I put them on and felt it crawling around my ear

I clipped my inch-long nails so I'm having trouble typing so try to ignore my spelling mistakes

The 2 caterpillars I was raising both made their coccoons (yay)

All 5 monarch eggs in the milkweed in my yard hatched into tiny caterpillars

I rediscovered the glory of intense parkour in ROBLOX

My mom found a candy stripe spider which I had a lot of fun holding and admiring its bright pink stripes

And I've been able to feed ants top the wild spiders in my yard (its fun to watch them wrap up the tiny ants in silk)

so yeah

lots of bugs

and the worst news:

I was raising a far caterpillar who was supposed to stay in his coccoon all winter and come out in spring, and hatch in to the second largest moth in America. But I've been waiting for almost a year so I finally decided to just cut open the silk and look at the actual cocoon inside to make sure it was still alive. (the actual pupa is inside a shelter made of silk, surprisingly tough to cut open) But the pupa inside... was dead. And nkurle accidentally stabbed it with the scissors, so there is no way it survived. Turns out, I was supposed to keep it outside in the cold, sprinkle snow on it every now and then and periodically spray it with water to keep it moisterized. I didn't do that, the coccoon basically dried up. It would have been a male polyphemus moth if I had don e verything correctly... but at least now I know how to do it right. Ya learn from your mistakes, ya klnow?
