Field Notes

Description:

I went downstairs, at 4:00 a.m. in the morning, and I went into the back room. I spotted a beetle, lying on its back, on the floor. I touched this beetle with my fingers, and its legs started moving, back and forth. This beetle, is alive! I then took this beetle, and I placed it on the dining room table, so I could take some photos of it. The color of this beetle, is different shades of reddish brown. This beetle, is ten sixteenth of an inch long, and five sixteenth of an inch wide. I will now place this beetle, inside one of my terrariums. My terrarium, will be a new beetle habitat, for this beetle. I will put some dirt, grass, twigs, rocks, and leaves, inside this new beetle habitat. I will also look on the internet, on how to care for beetles, and what to feed beetles, that are in a terrarium.

Habitat:

I found this beetle, lying on its back, on the floor, in the back room, of my house.
