Moth in Action




(Above Photos by Jackson L.)



 
 

Today Mrs.Sims class released a beautiful moth called Polyphemus! Before we released it had to go through a cycle called metamorphasis. The Polyphemus moth spends most of its life as a caterpillar! A cocoon is like a dressing room for the moth, about a month later, it turned into this beautiful moth like we thought it would. First we kept it in a big butterfly inclosure for a day so it would get used to its new body. The next day, (today) we let it go in our school garden with gorgeous flowers. We had a little trouble getting it out of its inclosure, but it finally let Mrs.Sims pick it up, it then fluttered on a flower and looked comfortable. Mrs.Sims class went inside and started learning again.  8)
