Egg hunting!
Today was another nice day to be outdoors. Ben and I went egg hunting for his project in Wayne county. And no this wasn't Easter egg kinda hunting...this was insect egg hunting, specifically squash bug egg hunting.

Eagle-eye Alfred got most of them. We collected well over 3000 eggs yesterday! I counted up to 2700 when we got back, then stopped because we had more than enough for two years of research. For now, they're in the deep freeze.
