Inquiring into butterflies

First- and second-graders have lately made many discoveries about butterflies and caterpillars through firsthand experiences in the garden. They can identify 4-5 butterflies on sight and are following closely as the caterpillars of two species, black swallowtails and cabbage whites, mature. 

Butterfly metamorphosis will also provide a great way for us to begin talking about the life cycles of other organisms later this fall.
