       "Butterfly Buddies"

    Thornton Jr. High Academy students have adopted  first grade
students in Mrs. Goldfisher's class as our  "Butterfly Buddies".  As
part of  the learning experience to  assist our second grade buddies in identifying  the major parts of a butterfly, the Insecta Inspecta World team asked students to describe a 'Mystery Butterfly' and send us their email description.  Further email eventually produced a product as the  Insecta Inspecta team translated description into graphic.

    Would you like to play "Mystery Butterfly"?  The Insecta Inspecta Team
will  select one email  a day and draw it according to your description.
We will then post it on our web site. You may  visit the USGS website
to become familiar with the terms  used to describe
Lepitoptera.
