Thanks @KyEdRPG for hosting a writing workshop with students today, your help is always appreciated!

Following up Monday, going to show students the state-specific entomology/identification page the University of Kentucky has, and talk about the absurd amount of beetle species on the planet. (I think pictured page is the right species, but it's 50/50 with these guys.)

New students learned about the desert beetles I keep in my classroom on the first day of school. Day two, one of them brought in a pickle jar containing a beetle she rescued from drowning in a saltwater pool. Beetle is being rehabilitated with lots of good food.
