Creepy Crawly Critters

Dear team,

Summer's in full swing and bugs are all around . . . there's no better time to explore the world of creepy crawlies!

Remember your first ant farm? It's no wonder you were so intrigued by those industrious little creatures. Not only are they smart, with the largest of all insect brains; they're strong, too! Ants can carry up to 20 times their own body weight.

There's so much to learn from ants: cooperation, organization, determination. Your kids are sure to be as fascinated as you were by a colony of ants hard at work!

What? You didn't have an ant farm? It's never too late to watch and learn from these amazing creatures! Check out our best bug buys to get started.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
