How many types of butterflies are there?
One student read that there are 500 000 species in the world.
Are the caterpillar eggs hard or soft?
My theory is that they are soft because look soft.
I wonder why some of the poop is red?
I think it is red because it may be blood.
(We have left a message with this question for the
Butterfly Wrangler because we couldn't find the information in books.

Why do the caterpillars hang upside down to make a chrysalis?
My theory is that it hangs upside down because it has to shed it skin and the chrysalis has to hang because it is easier to shed that way.
Why does a caterpillar change in a chrysalis and not in something else?
My theory is that is the most comfortable shape for it to change into a butterfly.

The Painted Lady butterfly likes the flowers called asters, cosmos, thistles and a button bush. I got that from the web research paper.
How does the caterpillar make its pupa?
I think that the caterpillar makes its pupa by its back tail. Something goes around it.
After a month the caterpillar is fully grown. I got that from a research book.
How long does it take for a caterpillar to be fully grown?
My Theory is that it takes a month and a half.

Did you know that the painted lady catepillar has spots on its spikes and its body? I got that from looking at my caterpillar with a magnifying glass.
How does the caterpillar have the chrysalis in its body so when the skin is shed it is a chrysalis?
I think it grows one in its belly and when it eats grows and grows and then when it sheds it is in a chrysalis.
Some caterpillars have a orange horn to scare their enemies away. I got this fact from a book.

i wonder if all the butterfly's will all come in different sizes?
Some of the class thinks they will be different sizes because some the the caterpillars were small and some were big. Others think they will be the same because they are all Painted Lady butterflies.
Room 2 is doing some fabulous work!! I sometimes get confused because some butterflies look like moths and some moths look like butterflies. Can you tell me...WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES?
Thanks,
Elaine
