Insects! Run For Your Life!!!

The first part of the second year zoology is so not nice. Our first project is insect collection and we need to collect a total of 25 different insects. I don't like catching things that are smaller than my palm as I'm always worried about squashing them. Furthermore, being a cockroach-phobic, I will rule out cockroach in my collection. No matter how you smack me to death, I'm still not going to put my hands on a cockroach. I managed to overcome the cockroach dissection last year because I didn't use my hands to touch it. However, I need to touch the insects to pin them this time. So they are different scenarios.

It was a cloudy and cooling day. Me and Min Dee went off for bug catching.

Bundoora Park is located within walking distance from our house. This was my first time walking into this park eventhough I've already been living beside it for a year. Lol.

The insects sure are fast. It was so hard to catch them. @@" I wish I can be like the chameleon, if not I can catch the insect in less than a second and get my project done in less than 10 minutes. :p

By the way, chameleons are so cute! I should have one as my pet sometime in the future. Hehe. Half way through our bug catching, we saw two cute parrots. They walk like ducks, with their butts swaying left and right. So cute!! Birds always come in pairs. So nice. xD

When we were done with bug catching, we tried out the playground in the park.

I miss the swing swing. It's still so syok to play the swing swing after so many years. Lol.

Some things are still teenager friendly. However, some really disqualified us from the playground. =.="

At the end of the first day of bug catching, the results are quite fruitful. I caught 8 of them. Plus 2 more that I caught in the house. I have got a total of 10 so far. Half way through the collection! :D

Next target will be butterflies. Poor them.
