Hey Steve, since the girls are taking "grossology" they might appreciate this. It's a (perhaps thankfully) blurry photo of a couple of dung beetles rolling a marble-sized piece of their namesake across the prairie to do ... whatever it is they do with it. One appeared to be doing all the work, though, while the other one was along for the ride. Aren't we lucky to have won the cosmic lottery and be born humans! (Though, sometimes I do wonder...)

Hey if you haven't seen the movie "microcosmos" its a MUST SEE! A film in which the french have minaturized the cameras and bring you the likes of dung beetle at an incredible scale.
