Bugs of the World – Butterflies

July 8, 2008


Originally uploaded by Greensboro Public Library

At Bugs of the World this week we learned about the Monarch butterflies who travel from Canada to Michoacan, Mexico. We learned a little about the people who share their mountain homes each autumn with these butterflies. We also made tie-dyed coffee filter butterflies, enjoyed a snack and watched a short film.  Here is our swarm!
