Wild River

Professor Creek

There were some very big toads (not frogs) up Professor Creek. Thye were really strong and almost jumped out of my hands. There were also toad bugs there. They looked like toads and hopped like toads.

I found this strange yellow beetle being eaten by ants. It looks like a dung beetle.

This is a Ten Lined June Beetle, Polyphylla decemlineata, members of the Scarab Beetle family. The grubs are pests on peach trees, devouring the roots. The adults eat pine needles. They are attracted to lights at night. They sometimes make loud squeeking noises when handled. The top picture is two males mating with a female. there were thousands on our grass a couple of days ago.

When I grow up

My name is River. When I grow up I want to be an entomologist. An entomologist is someone who studies insects. Here is me catching a tent caterpillar. Tent caterpillars live together in large groups, and make giant web tents that they live in.
