WGOM: New visitors at Milwood!

The 7th grade science classes welcomed a couple of visitors this past week into their classrooms.



This little guy is a painted lady butterfly, still in larvae, or caterpillar, form. Students will watch the caterpillars through the pupal stage and hatch to become a butterfly.



The praying mantis is another visitor that made its arrival this week. It comes arrives as an egg case and will hatch into multiple mantises. This should happen in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned as we keep you updated on the care of our visitors!
