Beth brought in a Cicada bug that she found at home. All the kids were very interested in this very large bug. And how it can live under ground for 2-17 years before it emerges as a nymph and climb the trees and shed their skeleton, growing stronger as a flying adult. 

Pretending to be bugs around the room.
