Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


June 12, 2014: Queensway Sec School with Jacob

Jacob and I went spider hunting. To engage his curiosity and his curious eyes - I decided that we would look for crab spiders that hide in flowers. Thomisus guangxicus is the most common flavor we find near Queensway Sec School. -
