Digging for Bugs

One day after school last week, Dexter went to the park with a couple of school friends, one of whom had a "Bug Sucker" - a long tube with a bulb at one end that creates suction for pulling bugs up out of the earth. Without a Bug Sucker of his own (or as he describes it, a "vacuum for bugs"), he used a stick to create holes in the earth and search for bugs. 

Ever since, Dexy has gone digging for bugs in our yard every chance he gets and has covered a surprisingly vast territory! As my mother noted, at least he's aerating the ground which will help the grass grow.
He has yet to find a bug so I'm not sure how we'll handle it when he does.
