Slice of Life 26/31

Mealworms have segmented bodies with exoskeletons. I study them almost every day because they are food for Waffles. The container lid gives a little resistance when you try to open it, and they are kept in the fridge in the garage because my mom has a completely irrational fear of them. The ones that are alive have a round shape, and the dead ones are kind of flattened so if you were to roll it between your fingers it would not work very well. Some are active minutes after I remove them from the cold. When I carry them upstairs they try to force their way through my fingers and their legs and mouth parts almost hurt. The feeling was disconcerting at first, but now I'm used to it. The rest of my family is not.
