Me: "That's an Inchworm. They can release sticky thread out of their bodies like a spider. It helps them hang onto the leaves they're eating and escape from predators."
Tuck: "That's so cool. I'm going to name him 'Inchie' because he's an Inchworm. Get it?"
Mags: "I think we should call him 'Thread Butt' because he shoots sticky thread out of his butt. Get it?"
Of course, the kids fell in love with how this little guy moves.
And, well, I couldn't resist taking a quick video.
You'll need sound to get the full effect of my dork-ness.
Enjoy!

That was like a Peter Gabriel video from 1985. I like the look in his eyes watching Inchie Thread Butt.
ReplyDeleteThread Butt! Hahaha...Mags is such an awesome little girl!
ReplyDeleteI love the creativity of your kids!
ReplyDeleteThread Butt. *giggles forever*
ReplyDeleteYou know I am scared to pieces of things like caterpillars. Really like freaked out scared - but that little guy is cute. TALU
ReplyDeleteHA! Love the name. Anything with butt in it and my kids laugh loudly. What is it about butts that are so funny to them? And poots and farts. They love that as well. I have to say, I don't recall ever seeing an inch worm that close up. Very fascinating video. (talu)
