Last week, the scientists sent us our
22 baby, very tiny caterpillars.
The caterpillars were delivered in a cup, with mashed mallow plant at the bottom. It was amazing to see these larva!
Over this past week,
we have observed, recorded our observations in our science journals, and watched their bodies grow, develop, and even molt their skin!
Be sure to ask us about the body parts of a caterpillar!
I think you'll be surprised to know all the scientific names that I know:
*bristles
*spiracles
*12 simplistic eyes
*segments
*6 true legs
*10 prolegs
By next week, we should see our caterpillars begin to form their J-shape. Don't forget to come in and see them!
