THE GARDEN BUG GANG



How each bug was identified, named and catalogued
Lightning bug aka Hunt: We observed lightning bug for several years. We noticed that he was a particularly fast bug, flitting here and flitting there. He brought a lightness to every situation, every event he flew into. His buggy smile could light up a room, hence he became lightning bug.
Lady Bug aka Holly: Lady bug gained her name by simply observing her mannerisms. She is a bug that is every inch female. She loves soft and furry things, and you can tell when she grows up, she will be a little lady.

Stink Bug aka Cayden: Stink bug was observed for several months and once this little bug started c rawling, he always crawled with his butt up in the air. We heard the daddy bug call him stink bug, hence the name stuck. Hopefully in the future he might evolve into a different bug because who would want to be labeled stink bug as they grow up. But, for now the name fits. Stink bugs are cute and they only smell if you threaten them. He is never threatened so he doesn't smell.
Bed Bug aka Hannah: And then, there is bed bug. Bed bug was named for a particular reason which will have to be shown through pictures. The pictures will follow within a few days. Bed bug, loves to play in her bed with all her toys and stuffed animals. She is a happy little bed bug and ironically, she is NOT a cuddle bug. I would say that in my experience Lightning Bug and Stink Bug have been the cuddler's in the family. Imagine that, the male bugs are the cuddlers.
June Bug aka MacKenzie: This little bug is not pictured yet, because she is not hear yet. When she arrives, she will be added to the repertoir of bugs in the Gramma's garden.
Soon I will post a series of pictures that will explain why each bug got their buggy name.

And...stayed tuned for the cartoon series entitled "Bugging my Gramma."
