1. Here's some info I'm digging up for you

Edited on Fri Oct-24-03 11:45 PM by progrocker69

that you COULD have found yourself. :evilgrin: But that's okay, I'm just kidding. Got nothing better to do and this keeps my mind off my problems.

This explains butterfly reproduction:

If I can find diagrams of butterflies morphing through their stages I will post them too. :)

Oh, wait. The page in the link above actually is just one part of a whole lecture on butterflies. You can find the other information using the links in the top right corner.

Hope this helps! :)

2. lay eggs out the but end usually under leaves, some caterpillars weave a

spider web like substance around them, others secrete a shell, surf out butterflies on the web, lots of pictures.

4. Hmmmm. . . remember in "Another Roadside Attraction"

how Amanda has musician friends smuggle rare butterflies into the country for her? And one of the bands gets busted while in possession of various stages of lepidopteran life, resulting in young people throughout the U.S. trying to get high from butterfly eggs?

So, Carlos, do you really want to know about Lepidoptera?

9. I'd get my son Joe, but he's sleeping

He's 8 and he never ceases to amaze me with his various facts he knows and he would know this. Just before bed, he shared some information about taratulas he read up on today.
