Creepy Crawly Things


When comparing my three children, C is by far the biggest fan of all things creepy and crawly.  This is his latest find.


He was fascinated by the way it would react when he touched it; the slug would pull itself in as tight as it could, as if it was trying to hide inside of a shell.  It was neat to watch.  I love to capture his love of nature.

Is that a banana slug?

Surprisingly (to me, at least) Emma is my biggest fan of creepy crawlies!

How did it react?

I think it is a banana slug.

We have examined slugs...but none of us have wanted to touch them. I love how children can be so curious about all the creepy crawlies in our world.

Ew yuck, I have bugs and unforunately I have 4 boys who love them :/

That's cool. My Dad used to tell us to go get salt to put on them. They dissolved! That's kind of cruel though.

Ooh, we saw some banana slugs during our forest hikes too, but Anna was not at all interested about touching it even though generally she likes bugs.

I have 3 that are very curious about creepy crawlies, but don't really want to touch them yet.

Hanna and Joe would love finding this slug :-). My Jesse will pick up anything and everything. He is fascinated by bugs. Jack is my only one to be terrified of bugs. I am with Jack!
