Moth in Action

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)

Polyphemus Moth Hatched!!!

So, today our Polyphemus moth hatched! It is gigantic! Mrs.Sims walked in to class and saw that it hatched, so she called David over and because they only live for 2 to 4 days, they decided to let it go. They brought it outside and it sat limp on Mrs.Sims hand. They thought it was dead, but they decided to keep it so the class could see. But when Mrs.Sims came in this morning, it was fluttering around in the cage! And we noticed eggs in the cage! We are going to let it go today if the weather clears up.

When Mrs.Sims came in this morning

Look at those eyespots! 

It's new cage

Luna Moth

Today Mrs.Sims brought a luna moth (it might be a Polyphemus moth) cocoon in to class. She found it in her garden. Luna moths are large moths that spend most of their lives as caterpillars, as they only live for about 20 hours and can't eat. They grow to be about 4.5 inches, making them one of the largest moths in North America. The caterpillars eat  a variety of trees, including walnut, hickory, sweet gum, etc. Find more info at Luna moth - Department of Entomology - Texas A&M University

I was nervous  so was the lizard.

She was very cold so we gave her a blanket.

Kissing the Frog

Last Friday we had an assembly for pennies for patients. Our school raised $2,827.75!!!!! 5 teachers had to kid our frog, Prince speckles.

Our beautiful princesses!!!

 

POP!!! Did he turn into a prince???

Are you scared!?!?! Mrs. Pennington freaked out and tried to get away but couldn't.

The little kids thought it was the coolest thing. They were screaming and laughing! They loved it!!!

GORGEOUS!!!!

R.I.P. Prince Chubby

I feel sorry to bring the news but our dear loved frog,Prince Chubby, has passed away. We all loved Prince Chubby so Rest In Peace.Despite the fact that Dr.Reich and Mrs.Pugh came rushing down to our class room with all the rescue equipment. He still didn't make it. So Mrs.Sims is going back to Petland and trading him in for a new frog we shall call him Prince Chubby the second.
