In the case of Sylvie, a then-2-year-old, and her mom, Dr. Laura Sullivan-Beckers, a biology professor, when Sylvie over-watered their backyard flower bed, the pair discovered a new bug species.
Most people who have watered flowers with a 2-year-old know what comes next: the flower bed is quickly flooded.
Their journey began in 2016 when Sullivan-Beckers, a professor at Murray State University in Kentucky, had the summer off and decided to garden with Sylvie. Over the next few days, Sullivan-Beckers completely excavated the entire flower bed, took pictures, collected species. Then over the next two months, she went back to the flower bed twice per day to excavate the top layer of soil, all with Sylvie by her side.
"I screamed and called my mom and dad," Beckers said of her reaction."It was kind of 'hold your breath' for a long time so it was a big relief."
