A day at the bunkhouse and skyping with you!
Thanks to all of you for making the Skype experience a great one! Today was an incredibly productive day here at the bunkhouse. Mark, the ever-helpful scientist, was very informative and I learned a great deal about the caterpillars we've been collecting and the importance of the research down here in Louisiana. Mark and I kept stumbling upon interesting discoveries.
I have posted a picture and a video of the Io Moth at the 4-5 instar. The Io Moth caterpillar is a stinging one and is covered in pencil hairs. This caterpillar was discovered in the field while I was at the bunkhouse and I thought you might like to see it up close.
Day #4/Question #13
Yesterday I talked about a caterpillar instar. What is an instar?

We think instars are the stages of life that
the caterpillar goes through.
A instar is each different caterpillar stage. So we think it is in the pupate stage. We found this information in the life cycle of a caterpillar article.
Day 5/Question #22
We watched the video and zoomed in on the picture of the Alligator swimming around the log.We think that the Alligator is around 5-6ft.
I think that a instar is the life cycle of the caterpillar.
