This little guy, who joined our Unifix cubes for a math project on our deck, i a Longhorn Beetle. It was after we let him go that I learned that they can be serious wood-boring pests -- whoops! -- but it's highly doubtful I would have, ahem, exterminated him anyway. The Titan Beetle, a longhorn that lives in the Amazon rainforest, can grow up to 6.5 inches. Know what I would have done if he had showed up in our Unifix cubes? Yup. Turned the math project into a lesson on measurement. Tuesday, June 21, 2011
