128 NATURE STUDY LESSONS FOR PRIMARY GRADES 



(c) From what flowers does it get its nectar? 

 Color of these flowers? 



On the fourth page is given a record of The Eggs 

 and Growth of No. I. 



(a) Where were the eggs laid? How many in a 

 place? Color? Form? Size? 



(b) How long did it take the eggs to hatch? 



(c) How long does it take the caterpillar to 

 mature ? How many moultings ? 



It may be some time before this page is filled out, 

 but watchfulness will reward the patient seeker. 

 Quite likely more than one page may be needed for 

 some of the descriptions. 



Many cocoons are found in the fall. What cater- 

 pillar made them is a mystery, so our first entry in 

 the book will be on the page devoted to the cocoon 

 or chrysalis. 



This book may be used season after season, until 

 every caterpillar is known through its whole series 

 of changes. 



It is a wonder that more boys and girls living on 

 farms do not make a study of caterpillars, learning to 

 distinguish the harmful from the harmless. Through 

 knowledge of the habits of those which are injurious 

 to trees, vegetables, etc., the eggs of their moths or 

 butterflies might be found and destroyed.
