Living insects need…
• Air• Food• Water• Space• To be treated with CARE and
RESPECT

3 Parts of an Insect
•Head•Thorax•Abdomen

The stages of a mealworm
• Egg
• Larva
• Pupa
• Adult
![Page 5: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mealworms are actually
darkling beetles
![Page 6: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LARVE
The mealworm is not a worm.It is a larve.
![Page 7: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mealworms molt as they grow.
They also change colors
as they grow.
![Page 8: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Molting - the shedding of the tough skinlike cuticle
so the mealworm can grow.
The mealworms molt about 5 times before it changes into a PUPA!
![Page 9: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PUPA
The mealworm does not move in this stage. Inside, the
mealworm is turning into a BEETLE!
![Page 10: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ADULT
After 2-3 weeks the PUPA molts for the last time. It then emerges as an adult
beetle.
![Page 11: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The ADULT…
• Lives for about 30 days.• It can survive on bran and an
apple or potato for moisture.• Flaps its wings when it is ready
to mate.• Lays eggs a few days after
mating.
![Page 12: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Waxworm Life Cycle
•Egg•Larva•Pupa•Adult moth
![Page 13: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Waxworms will eventually turn into Wax Moths
![Page 14: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Waxworms make SILK
This helps the larve walk and is used to build a
protective cocoon
![Page 15: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
After gorging itself as a chubby white larva, the
waxworm is ready to pupate.
The waxworm rests and transforms into pupae after the larve spins a
cocoon.
![Page 16: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
After about 2 weeks the adult moth emerges.
The adults do not eat or drink!
After mating the females lay their eggs and die.

Life Cycle of a Painted Lady
• Egg• Larva - caterpillar• Pupa - chrysalis• Adult butterfly
*The series of transformations isCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
![Page 18: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Painted Lady caterpillars turn into BUTTERFLIES
![Page 19: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The painted lady constructs a chrysalis
when they pupate.
A chrysalis is a smooth plasticlike protective
cocoon.
![Page 20: INSECTS WAXWORMS BUTTERFLIES BibliographyBiography FOSS MEALWORMS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c805503460f9493770a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The painted lady emerges from the cocoon after
about 10 days.
A beautiful painted lady butterfly emerges.

The butterflies…
• Are very strong fliers.• Live well on sugar water.• Live up to 30 days.

Hello Young Scientists! I am a first grade teacher at Jacksonwald Elementary in Reading, Pennsylvania. I have a husband, Jason and two children, Josh and Rian.We all love the outdoors and enjoy looking at nature and all of her creatures.This is one of my favorite science units to teach to my first graders.Our favorite part is watching the butterflies come out of their cocoons.We have so much fun letting the beautiful butterflies go at the end of the unit.
