When the time comes for the caterpillar to create its chrysalis it turns a greyish color and begins to spin a silk-like substance into a ball on top or against a malleable surface. It then attaches its rear end to the "silk" lump and hangs upside down in a "j" position. By small contractions of the muscles it begins to shed its skin and head revealing a soft pinkish tan form. Quickly the soft form hardens and becomes greyish brown. The chrysalis stays in this form for eleven to twenty-one days. After that period of time, a small crack begins to form at the tip of the chrysalis revealing the butterfly's head. It continues to slowly move down through the bottom of the chrysalis until its legs are free to cling onto the shell of the chrysalis
Why is working effectively together important?

A butterfly’s life starts out as a caterpillar, then a chrysalis, and finally the adult butterfly. In the novel The Butterfly and the Violin, Adele Von Bron start her life out as a caterpillar as Austria’s sweetheart who very dependent on her family. She then became like a chrysalis, when she began to help the Jewish family by feeding them and trying to help them escape. Towards the end of the novel is when she transformed into a butterfly, because she had suffered with the struggles of the camp and met Omara which helped her to become a strong and independent woman. In The Butterfly and the Violin, Kristy Cambron uses the butterfly as a symbol to show the relation between Adele’s life and the life of a butterfly.
To Kill a Mockingbird and The Chrysalids are both novels that discuss flaws in human nature. These extend to racism, both past and future, unfair judgement, and justice. Though they take place in different time periods and have different characters with different beliefs, the two novels showcase similar and yet unique interpretations of their central themes: prejudice, conformity and religion.
There four stages in the life cycle of a butterfly. The stages are , egg , larva , pupa , and adult. The entire process is called complete metamorphosis and is one of two ways insects develop from an egg to an adult ( University of Minnesota https://monarchlab.org/biology-and-research/biology-and-natural-history/breeding-life-cycle/life-cycle/).
The blue morpho butterfly starts out as the dew drop like egg. Then when it hatches it turns into a Caterpillar. They have reddish brown bodies with bright line green or yellow patches on their back. Before becoming an adult, Caterpillar has to eat and eat and eat. Then the Caterpillar make something around itself called a chrysalis. Inside this chrysalis the tissues are broken down and the adult morpho body is formed. When the morpho emerges,
Acrocyanosis: Bluish discoloration of the hands and feet caused by reduced peripheral circulation. This is normal in newborns right after birth and may last for a few hours after birth, This happens because blood and oxygen aren’t circulating properly to the hands and feet yet. The problem goes away as the blood vessels in the baby extremities open up. Intervention is often not required but some facilities will supplement oxygen for precautionary measures.
The class of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) is the second largest order in the insect world. Nearly all organisms begin the form of larvae called caterpillars (Meyer 2009). After undergoing a pupae stage, the adults emerge with "distinctive...large wings (relative to body size) which are covered with minute overlapping scales" (Meyer 2009). The front wings are large and triangular-shaped while the hind wings are smaller and fan-shaped (Meyer
Some people in this world, such as women are underestimated, especially in mathematics, but the history of this subject isn’t exclusively male. There once was a lady named Hypatia of Alexandria who was a female mathematician and philosopher. Not many people have information about her family life. That situation is not uncommon for this time period (not having any family background). Even Hypatia’s own birth is questioned, but most people believe she was born in c. 350 CE within Alexandrea, Egypt. She was the daughter of Theon, who was also a well-known mathematician in his day. Theon was her very own tutor in science, math, and philosophy which in their day would probably be science. On top of tutoring her, Theon also placed her in the field of arts and activities such as rowing, swimming, and horseback riding. Unfortunately, there isn’t any
The setting in The Chrysanthemums supports Elisa's character development. While Elisa is gardening it is “December” (The Chrysanthemums, 313), a seemingly bad season to be gardening in. Her dedication to her flowers and plants is unmatched. She is indifferent and cold toward her husband, like winter is a very chilly, uncaring, season. The appearance of “pale cold sunshine” (313) represents her feelings toward her husband, because sunshine is an archetype for happiness, and using both pale and cold switches the meaning around, she is unhappy and unsatisfied with her marriage. However, after the man visits her in her garden where they discuss her chrysanthemums, there is a “thin band of sunshine” (323) in the sky, representing her hopes for
Change, the essential of life, it can be tranquility or turbulence, change has no set goal, it occurs all around us without us knowing. In the novel, The Chrysalids, by John Wyndham, change is the major problem in the society even though it is hidden in different aspects of life. To the society, change is their enemy, but it is themselves who are their enemies without knowing it. A society that fails to realize the inevitability of change will indubitably agonize.
With technology growing and advancing at a rapid rate we are sure to see and be shocked by a lot of things in the future that will be available. That’s exactly how I felt researching information on the Cayla doll which has many parents afraid to let their kids play with it. Cayla is a smart doll which connects directly to the internet making it a doll like Siri. A child can ask the doll questions and the doll will have a response by accessing the internet. The problem with this is the doll can be a target for hackers who can listen and talk to the child using a unsecure Bluetooth device embedded in the toy. For many that is a scary thought to know a hacker can have direct access to your child and say what they want without the parent knowing
When searching for the various breeds of cattle for the 2016 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, I came crossed a couple different breeds from Herefords, and main Anjou, but then I came crossed the Charolais. During my researching and talking to my FFA advisor I found out that the Charolis can be an easy to handle and they adapt to a new environment pretty quick. I chose to raise a Charolais because the excellent body structure and there beautiful Smokey coloring. We went looking on a Sunday, which started a good day, where I found the one I wanted. Unfortunately he still had horns but I wanted him because of his beautiful body structure.
During this stage, caterpillar changes and hangs itself in the cocoan. When caterpillar is in the cocoan, it will go through a formation process of the parts of its wings, legs and body. The wings of the cocoan undergo fast mitosis in order to change the shape from a pair of small wings to the big wings, which seem more suitable to be flown. Consequently, if a wing took off, another three wings left will continue to grow up. Inside of the cocoan, the wings form a structure where it can be fast- opened until it reaches the adult size completely. When the pupa is noticed to turn darker and the wings patterns starts to appear obviously, it symbolizes that the pupa is ready enough to be a butterfly (Abang, 2006; Pembleton et al.,
The Monarch lay their eggs on the milkweed plant. They usually lay one egg on the plant which is the size of a pencil tip. The yellow or white eggs start to hatch after four days. The female butterflies lay 300-500 eggs through two to five weeks of the process of laying eggs. The next step in the life cycle is the larvae. This is the stage where the monarchs do all of the growing. The caterpillar has many parts that help it survive. Once the caterpillar gets older it starts to shed off its skin. The first part to shed off is the head. The skin starts growing back into the caterpillar
In The Chrysalides there are many conflicts which occur throughout the story line. The major conflict we have identified are as follows:
