Entomologists Gone Wild
May 1st, 2009 by Kelley
I got to dust off the ol’ bug net today and it got its first use of the season…
For the last couple nights Josh and I have been hearing some noises after we have gone to bed. The other night I told Josh that it sounded like a bat. I was right.
He decided to join us for some pizza and tv tonight. Maya proved that she is more versatile than just a “bird” dog, and she almost got him a couple times. The cat on the other hand, could not be bothered to get off his perch after checking out what was going on during the initial ruckus. He’s useless and definitely not pullin’ his weight around here, but I digress.
Now I am no mammalogist, but I think it is the garden variety Little Brown Bat. Correct me if I am wrong…
Josh, being the normal person he is, instinctually grabbed his coat thinking he was going to catch the bat with it…me on the other hand, we entomologists try to find any way possible to inundate our insect nets into every situation. I am planning on fighting crime with it one day.
Anyway, just for the record, I won.
Yes, this is what an entomologist does on a Friday night.
