BUTTERFLIES *

(‘Ibachers may find the follow.- in Nature Study lesson suitable for some of their classes. It. can be liven wholly by the children them- selves (Grade IV-VIII) some ask- ins questions, others answering.)

l. The study of insects has been for us delightful moments, for ev- erything in their lives is so won- derful ‘that one cannot help but say: How can any one study na- ture and not believe in God » the Creator of all these wonders?

Every insect develops from or. egg which is far more beautiful than ‘any bird's egg, but we can only see how beautiful it is through a microscope as it is very smal‘. When the egg of the butterfly hatches. the little caterpillar is very small but it eats so much that in a couple of weeks it is full grown-Before it gets to its full size it has to shed its akin several tunes. Some insects shed their skin four or five times before attaining, their growth while other specie: may shed theirs twenty times; this is what we call moulting. A very curious thing is, that the skin 1'

sheds is so firm. it cannot stretch.

so a new skin is formed each time over the body,

2. When it is done growing do you know what happens? ( All.

"No. tell us please") It then turns ~

into, pupa, this means in a stage where it cannot move..It seems a- sleep in a little cradle fastened to a branch of a tree. But if you watch it closely in its little case you can see the wings and legs folded beneath the pupa akin. But what surprises you the most is tha one day it comes out of its cocoon, a beautiful butterfly. There's where you see that the hand of the Divine Artist has been at work for no one on earth could ever make Ill;- thing so dainty and beautiful as the wings of a butterfly. The pupa of the butterfly is not covered with

silk and is called a chrysalis while-

the one of the moth is, and is cal» ed a cocoon.

3. When an insect has its wings can it still grow? No a small fly will always remain small.

4. Can any one tell the differ- ence between a butterfly and a moth? (I can't) Well I can't either, the only thing I know is that nmtha fly at night and butterflies in the day time and you cannot always go by that, for some moths fly in the day time also. I think it would be interesting to mention a few o1 each kind and say what we know about them. M---- you might be-

n.

5. I knows few moths: The

clothes moth, the apple moth, the lyphemus moth but. the most

eautiful is the cecropia moth. I know something aibout the clothes moth which ‘I think everybody should know. If the clothes moth could speak. this is what it wound say: I am very small. I fly especial- ly at night. I am of a very __light brown color. My wings are cover- ed with scales which rub off when any one touches me. If you try to catch me, I fly in a dark corner and look for woollen clothes. Here's a little girl's winter coat It has a nice fur collar; there's where I'll lay my eggs. My cater- pillar likes fur. I-Ie has sharp claws which are like scissors: snip. snip, go the scissors. The fur is falling fast and there's a hole in the ecl- lar. I hopd nobody will find it for if they hang the coat in the sun. the heat will kill it. The aun will also kill the eggs, then there will be no one to eat the fur collars but I suppose people will be glad.

6. Your moth had a bad story to tell and now we'll look out for it. I often wondered how a worm could ever get into an apple and this is what 1 found out. The appie moth is a small insect which lays its eggs on an apple blossom. When the apples are just beginning vo grow, the egg hatches into a little worm called larva. This little worm feeds on the apple and works its way out. When the apple ripens. the wind blows it down, the larva comes out of the apple; crawls up the tree and. hides underneath the bark. It soon spins a cocoon for itself thenlt goes to sleep for the fall andwinter. In Spring it comes out. with wings and flies around til' it finds the apple blossoms. To de- stroy them the trees should be sprayed while in bloom; this wi;l kill the eggs.

‘l. I never knew how the worm could get into the apple; now I'll tell you about the bolyphymus moth. Did you ever seen a green worm about as long as your finger? Well this is the worm which will in time turn into the polyphemas moth. It is a little smaller than the cecropia moth which is the larg- est in Canada. Its wings are light brown with two large black spots on them.’ This moth wrapavits oo- coon in a white oak leaf. It AI quite hard and made of silk wound around its body. This thread no spins through ita mouth and it takes about 000 yards to cover him- self in its cocoon. The cecrop and polyphemua moths are sil worms. ' .

8. You mentioned the oecropia moth, I can tell you what I heard about it. In a school hot far from here, a upil ‘found a cocoon of this bea ul moth in ah orchaid nearby. He kept itin our clas- ‘room until spring and one day to our great surprise a iarae- butts:- ‘fiy cams out oHt. at first it - re- mained on the window sill drying its wings in the ‘sun. They appear-

miadlrsbeah-Arab

w

beautiful and dainty colors. . The Round color of the‘ wings is a dus- ivy. grayish brown while the outer illliiins are clay colored. The winks are crossed bya whlta band which has a broad margin of red. There are also redrapotsiandcres- cent shaped white spots ' bordered with red. This only gives you a very little idea of its‘ beauty. To our great surprise it did not eat at all for tlarshort time it lived about 3 weeks. Then aiterlaying its eggs which were of an orange color and as large as a turnip seed, it soon died. I never heard that this moth was harmflil.

0. If this moth is not harmful I'll tell you aboutanother which is; this is the cabbage moth. 1t sleeps all winter but when spring comes it smells‘ the cabbage leaf and lays its eggs upon it. These ‘natch into little green worms which feed on the leaves. They destroy other plants also. When the moth flies it is easily recognized for its wings are white with black spots on them. When the wings are opened they are about two inches from end to end. Its antennan. thread-like projections on the head. lire block: these are used as feelers. 1 should like to know why we call these insectsbutterflies.

10. No one seems to know exact- ly the reason why they are so call- ed but most likely it is on account» of the brimstone butterfly whose color looks very much like butter. These"ars very numerous. there are about sixty species of them. They also resemble the sulphur butterfly. It is of a yellow color like sulphur, with a black edge on its wings. Butterflies do not like rain so they crawl under a leaf until the rain is over. Sulphur butterflies never travel alone, we often see two together andsomc- times flocks of them. They feed on clover flowers and lay their eggs on‘ the" leaves.

l1; Who knows anything about the monarch butterfly?

I'll say what I know about this pretty butterfly. It has four wings and six legs. It is golden brown and some of them go South for the winter but return in-the spring with the birds. If you look at. a monarch butterflyu wings through a magnifying glass you will see that they are covered with tiny colored scales which overlap each

Don't give up the boy who alts in the back seat and wears his coat collarless, his hair non a la Pompadour, and his finger-nails 1n mourning -who'won't learn his lessons and who will get into mis- chief. I knew a teacher who had a pupil like this. She showed 1n‘- tssest in him; she visited‘ his pa: ents. and didn't act as if th-nr language and manners made them devoid of all fine feeling. Slls asked him to help her about some work after school one» night. and said, "By the way, John, we know each other-pretty well now. I like you and I hope you -like me. I want you to do something for mo, will you? If I can" was the answer. Come to school tomorrow with a collar, comb your hair nicely. and ‘pare your finger-nails. You see I‘ like you as you are now, but I want other people to like you foo. and they won't ii’ you are careless about your looks." ,

no you think the boy hated her? No. He was never seen untidy ai- ter that evening. He graduated from the High School with honorr and is today filling a responsible position in society. He swears by that teacher. She made a man of him. .

The front wings have two rows ol,ysl- low spots, the hind wings have bright blue spots bet/ween the yel- low spots. It also has red eye-spots with tails half an “£1 long which look like swallow- . It lays its eggs on wild parsley. These hatch into caterpillar which are green with black stripes and yellow spots. The caterpillars climb the stems of the‘ plant to turn in pupa and when they wake up they are but-l terflies.
