Bug-tastic!

Used the kid as an excuse to go to the Victoria Bug Zoo along with my mother. Great fun was had, until the tour guide started handling the bugs, then the kid got a little... guarded. I still wouldn't put it in the top 5 local attractions, but it is worth a visit, especially for entomology geeks like me.

In other bug news, yesterday I found what I believe to be a "Bee Assassin" (Apiomerus spissipes) crawling around on a coworker's desk. I'll post a photo when it's downloaded.

Hey, was the Bug-Handler a tall guy with long hair, named Steve? If so, you should have mentioned Lego, because he is a fanatic.

Nope, short guy, short hair. Kinda peppy. Can't remember his name.
