Kindergarten and first graders recently had a visit from
the "butterfly lady", Joan Hedger, a certified butterfly farmer who owns
Joan's Butterflies in Alto, TX. Butterfly farmers raise thousands
of butterflies like the monarch, tiger swallowtail, and many other colorful
varieties. People contact butterfly farmers and order butterflies to be
released at weddings, graduations, and other special occasions.
Students gathered in the auditorium where they heard all about the
life cycle of the butterfly and were able to get a closeup view of some
specimens the butterfly lady brought along.
The group was fascinated with the topic and had a lot of
questions and comments.
Everyone got to take a peek at the butterflies brought along for
the presentation.
Of course, everyone had their favorites...........
Here's some fun butterfly websites to visit and a butterfly page
to color.
