"Green Lacewing! Water Boatman! Fleas! Darkling Beetles! Oohh, my favorite: Globular Springtails… order Collembola." Vivian, Zoe and I shouted in unison. We were at a study session for the science olympiad event: Entomology. In which, Vivian and I did very well in. Today we were identifying the insects. As soon as the next flashcard was whipped out its name would soon be called. "We are really could at identifying!" Vivian exclaimed. I nodded, "But, we need to work of the insect anatomy, I mean a lot." And not long after we went over the insects body parts. "Crop! Midgut! Mandible! Exoskeleton!" And those were the easy ones! I can't wait for the next competition...
