Worm!!!!!
For over a week now we've been watching our ladybug larvaes. They creeped my mom out, and she made me promise that they couldn't get the little cap off of the dome and escape. I thought about hot-gluing it, trust me. The kids have gotten bored with the little black pincher-bug thingys. Bubby doesn't even want to take our bugs on car rides anymore.
Our booklet says that after a week or so of being ugly, they will suction cup themselves in a little "u" shape to the top of the dome and magically become white wormy-things....and then a few days later, out pops a cute little ladybug. So tonight, while I was cooking dinner, I was checking up on them. Everybody seemed happy, and a couple of our little buggies had attached themselves to the dome. Another one looked like he'd forgotten his roadmap to the dome and had attached himself to the "castle" instead (the castle is the rock formation inside, compliments of Bubby's imagination).
We put the kids to bed, I beat my body up on the elliptical, took a shower....and came out to the kitchen. And what do we have? A worm!!!! Seriously - it's crazy. Boo is gonna wig when she gets up in the morning. I was standing in amazement at the white wiggly worm (it's actually the bug who attached himself to the castle!) and told DH, "It's a miracle!"
"No, it's not."
"Yes it is! A couple of hours ago, he was just chillin, and now...he's a white worm with no head! That's just amazing! Where'd it come from? Was he hiding it in his back pocket? It's a miracle!"
"No, it's how ladybugs are made. It's just God's creation."
Leave it to DH to take the mystery and romantic side out of it. Whatever. I still vote that my little bug is a miracle. Creepy, but a miracle. I can't wait for the rest of the crew to go worm. I'm so excited for them!
The bug spray guy comes tomorrow. I know he will think I'm an idiot, but I have to ask him if his bug spray is going to hurt our little pack of larvae-worms. They're like family now. Even if they do look more like a Star Wars creature.
