The Big Bug Birthday

Category: My World

On Saturday I went to my friends' daughter's birthday party outing at Garden in the Woods, a nature area run by the New England Wildflower Society in Framingham, MA. We were there to see the Big Bugs exhibit which comprised a series of twelve large bug sculptures displayed along the trail that runs through this park.

Here's the birthday girl, Ashlyn (second from the left), and her friends standing in front of the giant grasshopper.

Here's the Big Bug Butterfly.

While on the walk through the woods, I found several naturally occuring bugs to photograph.

A damselfly, or maybe it's a dragonfly, I can't remember how to tell the difference.

One of the volunteers found this skin which a damselfly shed and left on the side of the pond.

The Big Bug Assassin Bug.

The Big Bug Praying Mantis.

And finally, the Big Bug Ant.
