Mrs. Karpinski as ‘Madame Butterfly’! She and her class did a wonderful job caring for and raising monarchs from eggs. Her students sang songs and recited poetry and made the day extra special!

Scary, Spiny Caterpillar!

Emily D. brought in some photos of a caterpillar her father took this summer. This caterpillar sure is strange! It has a green body with black and red spikes and  black horns all over it’s body!

Well, I had a hard time identifying this caterpillar, but I finally found out what it was–a ‘hickory horned devil’. The adult is a regal moth or royal walnut moth.

Click here is some information about this strange critter!

Emily’s photos are much nicer than this one, but I wanted to show you what it looked like!hickory horned devil2hickory horned devil
