Catch and release

I went inside to wash my hands


and a sweet fairy bug was waiting for me.
She flew up to the lotion and I carried her outside.
I don't have fairy bug food inside.
I ordered another field guide.

I think she is a May Fly although it is still April.

    Dear Chris,
    I do like bugs. I do not want them in the house but I cannot kill them. Thus we take them outside.
    Easy.
    So many of them are good garden helpers too.
