Parasitoids

Tomorrow we will be talking more about our research and the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the caterpillars. We will also talk about parasitoids.


Here is a picture of a caterpillar (a Fall webworm) that has begun to spin a cocoon. In the science world that is called pupating.

Ask Ms. J to show you a picture of a caterpillar with parasitoids on it!

PS-Who can guess what I am going to dress up as for Halloween? I'll give you a hint, it has a connection to what I'm doing here in LA!
