This spring we have been interested in anatomy and reproduction, reading about and drawing microbes, worms, ants, spiders, and snakes. Worms, like slugs & snails are hermaphrodites. We picked up a load of them after the rain, and put them back in the grass. The Field Museum has a neat exhibit about small life in the soil, I hope we get a few more chances to go there before the summer crowds. By this time next year I hope we have a worm bin for "vermicomposting" kitchen scraps.
