Our group observed red ants, white butterflies
bees and flies. We had flowers growing
(dahlinova virginia) which attracted the insects.
We even found spider eggs.

Differences
We received an email from the school in Iowa
asking why we had so many living insects in our
squares. We attributed that to the sunny and
warm weather we had been having, and the flowers
growing in the area. They heard a lot of birds
chirping, we have a playground and a main street,
so we hear traffic.
