A Moth Emerged


Today one of the students looked at the cocoon in the green topped box and there was a HUGE moth! We are not sure when it emerged. We let it go because we wanted it to live but here are the pictures. It was so cool. We put it outside and when I looked later the moth was gone.

I looked outside after school and the moth was not by the tree where we left it. I am sure it flew away and is so glad to be free. It sure was huge!
