I am Baby Sitting . . . . Stick Bugs

[rockdoveranch]

Well . . . I got my own little stick bug cage and put 4 in it to be my VERY own stick bugs.

My daughter used to keep a jar lid with water in her cage to give moisture to the bugs. She kept a piece of sponge in it, but now she uses only piece of wet sponge. No jar lid.

Since I did not have any sponges to cut up I put a jar lid in the cage with water in it. I had a dead baby stick bug this morning. It drown in the water.

I feel SO sad!

A story:

We were at Walmart today and while in line to check out a checker was busy trying to catch a beetle type black bug with a red strip down it's back. She said it was so cute she did not want to kill it. She was trying to get it to go into a plastic bag so she could take it outside to let it go. Next thing I know, STOMP! I turn around and she looked at me and said, "It really wasn't that cute."

I call my dogs, goofs, but maybe I am the goof.

Thanks for the condolences. I really cannot believe I set up the new cage to be a death trap for the littlest bug. The rest are doing well, thankfully!

These pictures are not so great, but if you look close at the cage with the big stick bug you can see lots of different sized babies.

Here's my cage.
