Bugs and butterflies

A Sweet Landing, darling child photo, from Ms Alis Emporium on Etsy.

Little children are curious and interested in all living creatures. My experience is that they love to explore nature and to hold or touch tiny insects. When my daughter was smaller, I had to bite my tongue not to say: "Don't touch!" "Keep away from it!" "Be careful!"
It's so easy to transfer your own fears to the children.

I have designed a t-shirt print specially for the curious little children. The shirt has small bugs and butterflies to talk about and to touch.
If you are not a small child, but still want insects on your chest, please contact me and I can work something out. I have had requests from a couple of ladies who want a woman's tee with this print, so don't be shy. -You are not the only one.

The quote: "Alt levende hører sammen" is from a book by Maria Gripe; "Tordivelen flyr i skumringen" -which also is made into a radio play, and happens to be my favorite radio play and something I need to listen to every summer.

Personally, I love to hold slow worms or frogs when I find them on my walks in the woods.
-But I'm not that fond of beetles. -Love to look at them, though. But my daughter usually lifts the bugs. As long as it isn't spiders.
Do you have any favorite critters you like to hold?
