A DIARY OF THE LIFE CYCL This project was supervised by Nature Club mother, Mrs. Mari- lyn Starling. The 7 year old investigators were Waheed Brown, Neil Cattell, Stephen DeCouto, Kevin Munro and Jonathan Starling. Special thanks to Mr. E. Cattell who provided soil and milkweed plants. Week 1 My daddy brought some soil to the school and we dug some holes and first we had to take the pots off the milkweed plants and then we planted them in the garden and I put some Monarch caterpillars on the milkweed. - Neil Cattell Week 2 Milkweed - Its latin name is Asclepias syrica and it is a native of tropical America. It is a herbaceous perennial that grows to a height of 2 - 3 feet and has orange red flowers. It grows in the wild as well as in gardens and will survive Bermuda ' s hot summers. Milkweed is the only source of food for the Monarch butterfly larva. Milkweed contains cardiac glycosides and when absorbed by the larva it makes the larva and butterfly toxic to birds and other predators. - Neil Cattell Week3 Today we went to a field to collect caterpillars. We found some tiny ones. We saw lots of Monarch butterflies, but before we did all that we planted some milkweed. Then we went back to school. We put the litde caterpillars on the milkweed at school. - Waheed Brown The eggs are on the milkweed. The Monarch butterfly lays her eggs on the milkweed because the caterpillars need to eat the milkweed. - Stephen DeCouto We went to look at the caterpillars. They had grown bigger. - Kevin Munro The black and yellow colours on the caterpillars warn birds that it will taste bitter. This bitter taste helps protect the cater- pillar. - Jonathan Starling 24
