So we are apparently full of life in this third grade classroom! Today we noticed something swimming around in the basin that was holding our salamander eggs. (I know, I know, I should have cleaned it out a couple of weeks ago!) Ms. Pickering saw something swimming around and I scooped it out to get a closer look (with a small cup). Within seconds, it was molting and had WINGS, LEGS, and ANTENAE! Completely scared out if my mind, I quickly handed (ha ha) the cup back to Ms. Pickering to go set outside before it flew out if the cup! I made a container with a tight lid and air holes for it to stay in until we figure out what it is! Creepy! No matter how scared I am of bugs, ultimately, I had to keep it! After all, we had just watched complete metamorphosis before our eyes! We will keep you posted on what we learn from our Biologist at Winthrop. Here's some pictures:
