The past few days have been fun! I have begun a few projects. One is the beetle project. Every day I check these sacks of logs for insects. When I find them, I put them in alcohol, label the tag, and write the date. There are about sixty logs I’d say. The point is to see what kind of bugs live in various types of wood and how often they leave their nests.
How is that going? I’ve actually had some pretty terrifying realizations about human nature and I am not at all pleased with myself r… Continue
