Butterfly science kits
This is totally different. I saw a commercial for raising butterflies early one morning. The commercial's format was like all the other "only $19.95" offers except they weren't selling knives that never dull or scratch removers...it was a complete habitat for watching the development of butterflies. And of course, if you called in the next three nanoseconds, they would double the offer. The concept is like the old sea horse and ant farm kits of the past and, after checking the Internet, I did not find a single complaint. The only negative comment was that such a kit could be secured elsewhere for less money at hobby and science stores. This is not an endorsement of the company but more for the concept.Check the website livebutterflygarden.com and shop around. This is a fun science kit idea.

"the Itsy-bitsy Spiders" @ The Iss
For years I have been critical of the ISS and an efficacy justification on the science being done vs the cost factor and risks, but this is somewhat of a breakthrough and I could soften a little if this policy persists along with revelations of exactly...
