Our sugar canes!

Our sugar canes are growing!
 After a week...
What does this tell you about growth of plants? Do all plants have to start growing from seeds? =) On top of that, what do you observe about the roots? What are the names of different types of root systems?

Fluffy has become a moth!

Fluffy has finally become an adult!
It took him about 2 weeks to grow from a caterpillar into a moth. Rich's guess was correct. Fluffy is a moth instead of a butterfly.

Fluffy is growing!


We found Fluffy last Friday, 8th March. It was still a caterpillar then. Initially, we were still worried that  we were not giving it the correct food when it did not seem to be active. To our surprise, it turned into a pupa over the weekend! It is still currently at the 3rd stage of its life cycle before it becomes a butterfly. How long will it take to become a butterfly? Would it be a moth instead? We wonder...
