Isaac's family found a very unusual looking caterpillar at their home, in a Maple Tree, about 7 months ago. They researched it, took pictures, and nurtured it until it hatched in his mom's 1st grade classroom. It turned out to be a very rare CECROPIA moth. Mrs. Charlton brought it to our classroom last Friday afternoon and it was amazing; the pictures really don't do justice. It was huge, and the sad part is, they only live for 4-5 days. Some of you may have seen it while visiting for lunch in the classroom. Take a peek at this link for more fun facts:
