There is more to a butterfly than you might think. Did you know that the larvae can live only on a single type of "host" plant? Learn this and much more with this 19-minute Butterfly Story video. The "experts" in this program are two middle school students who help manage their school butterfly farm. See the entire life cycle of the butterfly . . . the egg hatching under a microscope, the larvae munching their way through adolescence and the adult emerging from the chrysalis. Then, at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, we visit the butterfly exhibit and see a wide variety of butterflies found in nature. This bargain video will be a great addition to your life science program!
