Our Last Day With The Butterflies

When does the butterfly squirt out the blood?
My theory is when the wings dry off.

My favourite part was releasing the butterflies because it was fun to see the butterlies fly.

I liked doing the butterfly project.

My favourite part of the project was tasting the Gatorade because it was cool that we got to taste what nectar sort of tastes like.

The eggs have a type of food for the caterpillars to eat.

Painted Lady butterflies look like Monarh butterflies.

One of the butterflies looks like it is sick because it didn't pump its wing properly. There was one caterpillar that passed away before it turned into a chrysalis. My theory is when a butterfly comes out of its chrysalis it shows its tongue. One of the butterflies had a chrysalis stuck to its wing so we took it outside and later we saw that it was gone.

Why do butterflies drink nectar?
My theory is because it is a drink that is healthy for butterflies so it can make eggs and makes more butterflies.

How does a butterfly makes eggs to be a mom?
My theory is because an egg grows inside the stomach and comes out and it hatches and eats the shell.

My favourite part was taking the butterflies outside and letting them free because it was fun watching them fly away.

My favourite part was when the butterflies kept landing on the cement because we got a closer look at the butterflies wing.

- The Beta Team

My favourite part was when we made the butterfly model because I never used oil pastels before and it was fun.

It is sad that we have to stop doing research because we had so much fun when we were doing research and watching our caterpillars grow into butterflies.
- The Pandas

My favourite part was when we drank Gatorade because it was sweet and sour.

My favourite part of the project was letting the butterflies and chasing them because it was so much fun to chase them and watch them go out.
- The Butterfly Twins

Are butterflies and moths related?
My theory is they are because they kind of look the same in a way.

The Painted Lady is from North America and Europe.
- The A Team

My favourite part was when we got to release the butterflies because everybody chased them and we followed where they went.

Some butterflies can only eat ants and termites. The Painted Lady is one of them.
-The Japanese Team

Caterpillars have six arms and ten legs. I got it from a book.

The largest butterfly is 28 cm. I don't know the name.

- The Spike Team

Thank you room 2 for sharing your Butterfly Project with me. I really enjoyed reading your blog and seeing the photos and your art work. I learned a lot about butterflies too. My favourite part was watching you run after the butterflies when they were set free. Did you know that butterfly in Spanish is Mariposa? Blue Morpho butterflies are my favourite. They are huge, and the most beautiful blue colour. I have seen them in Central America (Belize, Panama, and Costa Rica).
