Hi, Tim. We just tweeted about your Backyard Arthropod Project. Check it out at http://twitter.com/coppertalk. Are you on Twitter? If so, give us your @name and we’ll follow. Happy hunting ;-D

Thanks! We did have the books with us, but I was able to do most of it from memory (at least far enough to satisfy the kids). They were (understandably) much less concerned about scientific names, than about things like “what is it, what does it do, and what does it eat?”

Props to you for taking time with the kids to do this! When you identified the bugs at the library, did you have a book with you or did you do it from memory?
