New Butterflies!

Mrs. Nibhanupudy was nice enough to give Alex some specimens from her butterfly garden! We have an egg (not sure what it is, but we suspect it is a Gulf Fritillary egg), a monarch caterpillar that has just hatched (it's smaller than my pinky nail), and a full-grown Gulf Fritillary caterpillar. Now we have a specimen representing each stage of a caterpillar's life (well, we will soon when we have a butterfly!).

We have pictures to the left.

Let's Research Some Butterflies!

You are both going on a field trip to Lucas Nursury where they raise butterflies! What are some facts about butterflies that you learned in school this week or that you can find online? Share your resources with one another!
