IamHawaii

There is so much to do in Hawaii that sometimes you just can’t decide what to do. And then, some days you just want to stay inside and avoid the heat. So what is there to do inside? There are tons of things. Many people go to the mall. But who wants to go there when you don’t feel like shopping? Well, this weekend I visited the mall down at Pearlridge. I went just to check out their bug exhibit. It had some larger than life Bugs. Some may think they are creepy, but it was a perfect setting for the kids. The attraction had a small train setup and the kids where just enjoying themselves. The bugs were very detailed and although there was some typos on the attraction it was educational.

Overall, it was a great break from the heat. Oh, I was going to purchase the new Punch Out for the Wii, but it isn’t wifi compatible. So I only ended up grabbing something to eat and called it a day – for the mall that is.

Here are some photographs of the attraction.
 

Praying Mantis Life Cycle (Egg, Nymph, Adult)

The praying mantis is named for its prominent front legs, which are bent and held together at an angle that suggests the position of prayer.

Locusts are migratory grasshoppers.

There are about 10,000 different species of grasshoppers.

Grasshoppers can jump up over 500 times their own height

A Grasshopper weighing 2-3 gm will thrust against the ground with a force which peaks at about 30 gms when the legs are half extended, to give it a final take-off velocity of about 3 m.s-1
