Ant Lion Care
A ant lion is a insect that digs a burrow in sand and eats the unsuspecting ants that fall in.
1. Get a pot or a similar container
2. Get some sand, not dirt
3. Get a spray bottle
4. Put the sand in the pot
5. Find an ant lion
6. Put it in the pot
7. Give it a couple days to rest, it should make a burrow
8. Catch some ants and place them in the burrow
9. Once a week spray the burrow with water
10. Good luck!
Ant lions or "doodle bugs" are low care insects that are pretty cool. If you can't find a ant lion try looking under trees in the shade, if you don't know what to look for try google! To catch them put an ant in their burrow, when they start to eat it scoop your hand under them and you have a good chance of getting one! Be careful to sift though the dirt when you scoop.

How to raise tadpoles!
Tadpoles can be very fun!
To care for tadpoles there are 15 steps:
Habitat
1. Find them in puddles or ponds, be careful not not to fall in!
2. Catch them. Good luck! This takes a while.
3. Grab some pond water, one liter per two tadpoles.
4. Get supplies, you will need a ground cover, plants with roots, and rocks.
5. Put the dirt/sand/anything in the container.
6. Add the pond water, only pond water.
7. Add the plant with the roots, the tadpoles hang on to them.
8. Add the rocks so that it comes out of the water.
9. Add the tadpoles!
10. Cover the tank so only a little sunlight can come in.
Care
1. Boil lettuce for 10 minets and freeze.
2. Cut very small and feed a little bit.
3. Do not feed when they have legs, they are absorbing their tail.
4. Change water half way every day, only POND water.
5. Don't let them die! Lol.
Good luck!
