Darkling Beetles

Last year we had a butterfly garden and the girls loved watching their metamorphosis, so this year we got Darkling Beetles (what was I thinking???). They were so excited to get them in the mail and we look at them everyday! They even hold them. Eeek! They are in a larvae state right now that looks a lot like a worm. Did I say Eeeeekkkk? Glad my girls like insects better than I do!
We got this cute beetle barn to put them in (the cutest part of the whole thing!).

Ben showing them the container with the beetles in it! You'd think it was Christmas morning at our house!

Pouring them into their new home!

And there they are in all their glory!

Can I say Eeekkk one more time?!?!
