We've been hearing a lot about the plight of the butterfly, and in particular, it seems, that of the beautiful Monarch (Danaus plexippus). Anyone, but especially parents and teachers, might be interested in a new National Wildlife Federation campaign to help these lovely creatures. Joining the fun entails taking a picture of yourself making the American Sign Language sign for "butterfly" and pledging to be a Butterfly Hero. Then you'll receive a Butterfly Garden Starter Kit, with seeds, instructions, stickers, and information (website): http://www.nwf.org/Butterfly-Heroes/Pledge.aspx?s_email_id=20150319_MEM_ENG_Butterfly_Heroes|STBot
Here's a Discovery video full of interesting information about the Monarch, shared by kids. The video's followed by a time-lapse video of the butterfly's life stages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI2vZ1_5eqs
