Wow, two of my scientists brought me treasures- the skull of a wild boar and a blowing conch shell. Thanks Manny and Alanna.

When the caterpillars arrived a week ago, they weren’t much larger than a grain of rice. They ate and ate until they were ready to make their chrysalids. We should have Painted Lady butterflies in about a week. The life cycle of a butterfly is an example of complete metamorphosis- egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
