We were learning about armadillos today, and I told dd3 that they lived in our area, so she suggested we catch one. ("Catch one?", I asked. "You know. So we can put it in a cage and study it.") Oh, dear. So I'll take chalking bugs any day. In fact, I love that idea and am stealing it. Perhaps gentle dabs of paint w/ a li'l brush would, ah, decrease the mortality rate? (Hmm... would be interesting to do with the spiders we find in our house and put outside. Do they return or do they learn their place? ;))
