Questions about butterflies

[Sharyn Fernandez]

Ms. Hammond,

I echo contacting www.insectlore.com for more butterfly information . They
also have curriculae  (about 22 lessons) to do along with their butterfly
rearing project.. it includes info on insects in general and the different
types of metamorphosis. (see ages K-3) about $10 plus $40 for the kit of 33
(i;d suggest getting some hollyhock from your local nursery and putting the
caterpillars on that; however, their "nutrient media vial system" is good
(if you clean out the vials everyother day or so), but with plants you get
to see how the caterpillars use their webs to keep out of their frass..
