How much do you know about bugs? I always thought I was pretty knowledgeable, but to be honest, my first impulse when I see a bug is to get out of its way. I’m not a big fan of bugs, especially if they are the stinging, biting kind of bugs. I know that learning about bugs is important since many of them do so many beneficial things in my garden. I would just rather learn about them from a distance. The kids always had a blast catching bugs and letting them go again. They’d always run to the house to show me their latest find. If your kids are the same way, you’ll want to enter this fun giveaway from Orkin. Orkin is providing a prize for this giveaway and for myself.
