Camp


Well about an hour ago Irene did my hair for camp. And as for my last post before I go to camp I want to tell you a little story about my mystery bug. First here's a photo. Isn't it cute? This is a nymph of a leaf footed bug. I'm not sure what species it is though. I've seen them every where I live and at camp ( I'm going to tomorrow! ) too. Before I knew what these were I called them "boot bugs" because they look like boots. That was my nick name for them. And it's thanks to www.bugguide.net that I know what these little guys are. I knew that it was a nymph of one of the many true bugs but I didn't know which. Any way yesterday Kerry called to say good bye to me and to wish me a good time at camp. Also she told me she would call me when I come home from camp to set a date to go to the beach! YAY! So while I'm at camp I have that to look forward too. Any way good bye for now!

Today I also got mail from Connie! She sent me 3 GIANT FUZZZY WUZZY BALLS! YAY! :) ( 2 orange and one yellow ). And later on me and my wonderful mimi are going to engorge ourselves with cake and ice cream! ( Yes please do envy us! )

Lady Bugs!


This morning at 8:00am my mom found a Multicolored Asian Lady Bug ( Harmonia Axyridis ). These little guys are more common then you think! They come in many different colors and patterns, hence the common name and are often confused with other species of lady bugs because they're so variable. To tell if a lady bug is a Harmonia Axyridis you need to look at the "shield" covering it's thorax. If you see a black "W" marking on it then it's a Harmonia Axyridis. Pretty cool huh? Any way after a while of looking at the fella I let him go. Other then that nothing else that was interesting happened today. I also went to see Dr. Grodberg 2 days ago. ( See my other blog for details ).

Going To See Dr. Grodberg Tomorrow

Tomorrow I'm going to see Dr. Grodberg. Hopefully this time nothing happens so that my mom has to cancel the appointment like she did before, and it happened twice! My mom ( and I agree ) wants me to see him before I go to camp. I really really hope that nothing happens tomorrow, because I'm dying to see him again.

Lance And Connie Came Today!

Today Lance and Connie came to visit my mom for her birthday ( Her real birthday is on the 16th but they couldn't come that day. ) so they came today. It was a very nice visit from them. Lance's best friend José came by to pay him a visit. When I went out to get the pizza with Lance I saw 2 mosquitoes and one Moth Fly ( These are flies that mimic moths ). They were cute. Then when they left I saw a geometrid crawling on the window! It was cute! I love today!

Went out with Kerry Yesterday!

Yesterday I went out with Kerry! I had a blast! I bought 2 Selena Cd's and Mancala and 2 bags of Doritos. I got the game Mancala at Toys R Us at times square. And I got the Cd's at a record store in times square. Tomorrow my older brother and his wife are coming to visit my mom and me for her birthday ( which is on the 16th of July but they couldn't make it ) so they're coming tomorrow. Also on Monday I'm going to see Dr. Grodberg and hopefully this time nothing will happen that will make my mom cancel it.

P.S I saw a fire fly yesterday!

The Invasion Of The Flies


Today my house was invaded by flies! Fruit Flies to be exact. I was shocked this morning when my mom told me that 2-3 flies were flying around the Venus Fly Trap she bought! Gee, that was awkward! And the next thing is the fact my mom hates insects. She only fancies butterflies and lady bugs and she wouldn't kill them if the made their way into the house. But every other insect or spider that made their way into our house she kills. MUDERER! Any way I still love her even though she's just been convicted of murder! :) Any way back to the flies the invasion started last night when I found one in the bathroom. At first I thought it was nothing because we get fruit flies every time she buys fruit. But we never got this many! Next thing you know they'll be laying down giving birth to over 100 babies! ( See Picture on the side of two Fruit Flies ( Euaresta Bella ) getting nasty! )

Note: The bigger fly is the female!
And the next thing you'll hear is the flies talking about how they're going to take over the house: "Hee hee hee! We just invaded Brittanie's house and now we're making wonderful chaotic plans on how to take over the house! Then we're going to lay down and make babies!" Any way today was very interesting!
