Looking at Bugs

A few days ago I smacked a mosquito on my arm at home. It wasn't completely squished, so I decided to try to get a closer look. My camera could get only a mediocre picture. Then I asked Wander about his microscope. Turns out he had three: two toys, and one old relic that he rescued from the garbage at work. The toy microscopes were pretty useless, but the old relic still worked!

In anticipation of our homeschool group's nature club, I also picked up at pen-size"microscope." It works surprisingly well for its size and is just right for taking out and about.
