yesterday my dad and i went to the 99 cent store and bought two french bread loaves. we went to the duck park an we got the ducks to make 2 and a half laps around the pond. while we were going back t the car we saw a dead pigeon and a spikey caterpillar. its black with some redish-orange.

i never told you, but i found a cricket when i had a sleepover with my friend. i still have it and have been cleaning its cage every afternoon and night.heres how to take care of one...

the best place to get them is outside or for a low price of about 12 cents at a petsmart. i also reccomend getting a female because the don't have wings (they can't chirp) heres what to do...

-get an EASY TO CLEAN container (trust me they stink) (clean it twice a day)

-get a paper towel, bath tissue, or a tissue and get it damp. not too wet that it drips or it will drown itself. this will provide its water. (replace it twice a day)

-next give it lettuce or potato. (these work best) you need less than a handful. (replace once a day)

-provide something disposable to give it a place to hide like part of an egg carton or a toilet paper roll. (replace when needed)
