Spring Science Project

We started our spring science projects. We are hatching out praying mantises and raising painted lady butterflies. The caterpillar arrived in a little clear plastic container that we can watch them grow and eat in. Once they crawl to the top and form a chrysalis, we can transfer them to the net tent to hatch. The praying mantis egg mass is called a ootheca is arrived attached to a stick and was placed into the pagoda until they hatch. They take quite a while to hatch and require lots of patience.
