My son is very much into bugs.  Whenever we go out to the park or to somewhere in the countryside, he’s always looking for more bugs.  I’m not the biggest fan, but I think it’s great that he’s very curious about them and not afraid to touch them.  

Recently, at his elementary school, the students have started collecting dragonfly nymphs.  These are small bugs that will eventually change into dragonflies.  He brought a couple home to take care of.  I think it’s a good opportunity for him to experience having a pet of his own that he has to feed and keep healthy.  We’ll see how it goes!
