Summer bug hunting! :]

The summer’s almost over, but I still have several  bugs left to catch. Those bugs would be the banded dragonfly (big surprise there) and the lantern fly (should’ve caught it by now, but oh well). As you may imagine, it may take me a while to locate the banded dragonfly. The lantern fly I should’ve caught by now. Unfortunately I’ve only seen two of them during the summer (I scared them both away XD), which is why  tonight I set out on a quest for that elusive lantern fly- with no luck, of course. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have fun! I even managed to take some photos of my hunt.

Me with my net just outside my house. Let the hunt begin!

Even though I didn’t end up catching a lantern fly, I did find some rare insects! I was pretty happy when I found the rainbow stag- they sell for 10,000 bells, after all. Apparently Bob was happy, too- can you see him on the left side of the picture clapping for me?

Unfortunately, I also ran into some more undesirable bugs. Like the mosquito that just bit me. Joy…

I chatted with some of my neighbors while outside as well, like Buck, who I really wish would move. I’m apparently a part of his club now (and I’m not so sure I want to be XD).

Another one of the rarer bugs I came across tonight. Yay for elephant beetles!

Finally, after a long night of bugging, I went home and crawled into my own bed for a nice and well-deserved snooze. I’ll be trying again tomorrow night for that lantern fly, though!
