Recap for 05/22/14

Today's special show and tell included...
  • a large female yellowbelly pond slider
  • some slugs
  • some ants (queen, workers, winged drones, and warrior ants)
  • a beetle
  • a “frogpole” (an almost frog tadpole)
  • an “Ebony Jewelwing”  and one other small Damselfly.
Also, one of the children caught a house centipede in the classroom and we looked at his fangs under the microscope.  Then we went out to the water garden and looked for dragonflies to compare with the damselflies I brought in. We found a green darner dragonfly at the pond. It is called a green darner but the abdomen is actually blue. However, it’s eyes and thorax are green.
