As the place of the camp by the edge of a forest, we had fresh forest air accompanied by the sounds of the the forest insects. The boys had a practical nature lesson. Previously, they thought all insects were called ants. Now they know what ants are. On different occasions, they saw ants carrying a large dead beetle, a dead grasshopper and a dead worm. My, were they going fast!
They kids also saw many types of ants - large ants, small ants, red ants, black ants and white ants which were carrying their eggs and migrating from one place to another. They saw moths, which they thought were butterflies, and smaller butterflies flitting here and there. They also learnt about the sounds the insects made in the forest. The sounds were louder at night. When we got back after 4 days and 3 nights, I started to miss the forest sounds and fresh air there.
