wet mud. The Eastern-tailed Blue Butterfly caterpillars like to eat flower leaves and a mixture of bean plants.

Eastern-tailed Blue Butterflies are most commonly found in sunny, open places. Some examples are weedy places and disturbed habitats. Their range is from southeast Canada

but the most impactful is the food that the caterpillars are eating and a lack of food on their migration. Monarch caterpillars are born in milkweed plants and eat the leaves before they grow into butterflies. In 20 years milkweed plants have dropped to 21% the amount of that they were previously (Smith). Many scientists are attributing this to the massive monoculture fields throughout the migration pattern that

When you say the word “Moth”, you think about the winged insects that hang around the light on your porch or yard. Moths can be different in color, shape, or even size. This was also said by David Moskowitz. These winged insects are food for bats or birds. Some cultures in the world even eat moths, moths can pollinate plants. In the United States there are up to 10,000 to 11,000 moth species. If you see a flower that looks fragrant and white, example a yucca plant, it was most likely pollinated by

larva they have more complex banding pattern with white dots on the proleg. The final stage after the larvae eats mass amounts of milkweed is to search for a location to form a pupa, and within a few weeks the caterpillar will turn into a butterfly! Migration is what Monarch’s are known for, since they

The article “Plastic-eating caterpillar could save the planet” begun with an accidental discovery by Federica Bertocchini, who was a beekeeper and a biologist at Cantabria University in Spain. Noticing that the caterpillar pests were working their way through the wax in the hives, these caterpillars were captured and kept in a plastic shopping bag for further research. However, when Federica went to check on these pests, an unbelievable sight was presented. The plastic bag was full with holes and

Caterpillars are innocent creatures that have inspired an author to write a piece about their daily life. In the poem “The Caterpillar” by Anna Barbauld discusses two themes which are a realistic theme and the hidden theme. Imagery helps with all the themes present in the poem. One example of imagery is “the silver line that streaks thy back” (line 4). “The Caterpillar” talks about an insect that seems just like any other insect but the way she writes about it is as if she is glorifying caterpillars

mouthpart called a proboscis, and clubbed antennae, with thick ends like baseball bats. Butterflies are part of an insect order, a category level entomologists (people who study insects) use to organize insects into groups, called Lepidoptera, along with moths. The name Lepidoptera comes from the Greek words for “scale” (lepido) and “wing” (pteron). The scales on a butterfly’s wings are actually modified hairs arranged in rows. The scales deflect light energy, transmitting numerous bright colors to
