Our Mealworms are Changing!

1st graders have been feeding and caring for their mealworms for such a long time!  They saw that their mealworm would shed its skin and grow which prompted them to wonder what does the mealworm look like when it gets older?



The mealworms turned into pupas!  Now we figured out that it will turn into something!  What could it turn into? Many of the classes thought a moth or a butterfly.  One student thought maybe a firefly!

This pupa is hatching right now!
