Task

As a budding lepidopterist, you will study a variety butterflies and moths. As you travel to learn about these creatures, you will be answering questions and learning interesting facts about them. You will pick your favorite butterfly or moth and create a research paper using the facts you found. You will also create a model for our "Butterfly and Moth Museum" that represents what your butterfly or moth looks like.
