A Little About Me

   Hello!  I'm Emma.   I love and live in Texas, and am always itching to go outside. My favorite things to do are fishing, riding horses, riding bikes, roller blades and rip-sticks, hanging with friends, reading and writing, and catching crawly critters. Since I see so many insects, fish, and other animals, I thought I'd share them with y'all by making a bug blog! Some people may think, "it's so gross!" to even touch a little bug. Well, not me! I just have to see and touch all the bugs up close! Note: not the poisonous ones!

   There was one bug in particular that inspired my blog.

   I was outside about a week ago when I found it. I put it in a container (didn't know if it was venomous or not), and took it home. I had no idea what it was, so I looked it up. It looked like this:

     Interesting, right? Doing more research, I found out it was this:

   I would have never have guessed it was a ladybug larvae!
 
   The ladybug larvae eats fungus and the adult ladybug eats aphids, little green bugs that usually eat roses and other flowers.  Ladybugs are a member of the beetle family, and the prettiest beetle at that!

   So there you have it; my first of many posts. Thanks for reading and have a good week!
