Animal Traps

With his quick, careful hands, Logan has caught anoles, toads, frogs, dragonflies, and other bugs.  He investigates these animals thoroughly and asks questions about each part of their anatomy. 

This weekend Logan started making traps for animals instead of using his hands. He says he wants to trap animals because I (his mom) love them and want look at them. He says that with a smirk, so I'm not quite sure of his true intentions. 

Trap for any kind of critter.
He used worms on the water pump to lure animals into his trap. He didn't catch anything, but the worms were gone the next morning.

Explaining his trap

"See the loop closes and catches the animals."

"Hmm, I wonder why this trap didn't catch anything?"

The lizard trap.
There was an anole (we call them lizards, oops) at the top of the garage wall.  So Logan put up branches along the wall. He thought the lizard would think this is a real tree and climb down to it. Then, Logan would catch it!
