Nature Can Show Up in Unexpected Places
You never know where you might find nature. Zachary sketched this after finding it in his bed. 
Now, don’t get too alarmed hearing that they’re in his bed. He sleeps outside (Not because I’m a mean mom but by choice. If you want to know the whole of it, three of my boys are sleeping on our balcony this summer. They don’t need soft padding, I guess.)
So, that’s where Zachary found this Eastern blood-sucking conenose. I think he made a pretty good drawing of it.
Here is a picture of one I found on the Web.
Maybe you should check YOUR bed this morning.

Thats very good that he took the time to draw it and everything!
Thank you for leaving the kind comment on my blog – I replied to you in your message box.

That is an excellent drawing – but the NAME of the bug and the real photo freaks me out! I think I would definitely be moving indoors! ( But…boys will be boys! and my son would be right there with his 'bug bottle' trying to collect as many as he could!)

How fun to sleep on the balcony and find this amazing creature. I love the drawing, especially the wings. Great job, even better eyesight!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie

Ewww! I'm glad I haven't seen any of those in my bed recently! Great drawing though! Many years ago, before I was married, I spent the better part of a summer sleeping out in the backyard. It's quite nice once you get used to it.
Blessings,
