Science in the Summer...


The past week has been filled with a few summer science discoveries. I spotted this Imperial Moth on our Sycamore tree in the front yard. From a distance I wasn't quite sure what type of "bug" it was. After doing some "close-up" investigation...I quickly discovered these "two" bugs were mating! :) The moths "stuck" around for a good part of the afternoon and evening and then they were on their way.





Joe discovered this cicada on the side of his sawhorse. It was pretty fascinating as it was just coming out of his outer skeleton. The wings were so irridescent in color. How cool...!!






Emma discovered this beautiful "butterfly" in the backyard. We are so proud of her because she says butterfly so clearly...with all three syllables. :)
