When I was watching Bug's Life when I was little, I always wondered about some of the bugs. Back in Vegas and California, we didn't encounter very many bugs. If you did, they were your run of the mill spiders or cockroaches. Until I moved to Minnesota, I didn't understand why people complained about bugs. Normally if you were clean and sprayed your house a couple times during the year, you didn't get very many bugs in your house. Well, once we moved to Minnesota my bug tolerance was thrown out the window. There are a lot of bugs here. I was eaten alive by mosquitoes when we first got here until I made my own bug repellent, and couldn't believe the amount of spider webs around our house. We cleaned them, then the next day they were all there again. Those spiders work overtime in the Midwest to make sure you are stuck admiring their webs day in and day out. We have gotten the spider webs under control, but I am continually amazed at all of the new bugs I get to see for the first time.
Our younger golden retriever, Lola, was staring at the same bush for at least 10 minutes and I couldn't wait to check out her new obsession. I smiled when I saw this large bug lifting itself onto the top of this flower as our golden nudged it with her noise to make sure it kept moving. I saw my first grasshopper! They are huge, and they jump and scare the crap out of you every time you walk in the grass.
