Moth Catepillar

Forgot to rotate this one too. The moth catepillars are the neatest to look at. They come in all kinds of shapes and colors. I'll show you more when I get back. This guy is just screaming "POISON!" He turns into a huge yellow moth.

We are so excited to finally see the photos! In your class (in addition to the weather study) students are organizing their travel journals...they truly are on this journey with you. In other classes they are monitoring the weather and comparing statistical data between the United States and Vietnam. With these latest photos, and those posted by your counterparts, Ms. Mabry has started a photo journal in her classroom. Some of the photos posted by your fellow teachers helped us get a better picture of things described in your postings (like your hotel and that gigantic spider!).

Tomorrow there will be people from the community here anxious to hear from you. Let me know what you would like for us to have ready on this end. Will we get to speak with anyone else? Perhaps you could teach the students the correct way to say "good morning" in Vietnamese...we are a little rusty!

Hi Ms. Winzeler, this is Haley M. from 2nd block. How are you doing so far? This moth caterpillar is really neat. It looks very interesting in a way. Where did you find it? What is so poisonous about the moth caterpiller? Will this type of catipiler eventually make into a butterfly? We are learning so much in science, not just about weather but vietnam too. I was just wondering, how many new friends have you made on this trip? Also, how many butterflies have you seen or caught on this trip sofar? What kind of stuff did you see in the temple, like what kind of statues are in it or something like that? That was really cool when you said that to conner H. about the bug that Sy found in your hotel. Are there a lot of bugs in your hotel? I hope not because that would be very gross and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, but that is just me. Have you caught any more butterflies or are you still to scared?

Well thank you for taking the time to write us a post and tell everyone there that I said "Hi". Well I'll talk to you all later in class maybe when you call and you can answer some of my Questions. I have a lot as you can tell. I still really think that the moth catilpiler is really neat and different from a lot of other catipilers's that I have seen

Love,
Haley M. from 2nd block

P.S. By the way, class has been really fun, but it would be more fun if you were here, because you make everything more fun. Although I am very happy for you, because this is like a once in a life time chance so congratulations!

Hi Ms. Winzeler how are you doing in Vietnam? I have a few questions on the Moth Caterpillars. Does it bite you or if you touch it do you get poisoned? My other question is how does the caterpillar change from a caterpillar to a moth? Hope you are enjoying your trip in Vietnam.

Hi Ms. Winzeler! How are you doing?

I just wanted to know, do you know what the spikes on the moth caterpillar are used for? And can't you just delete the picture posted, rotate it, and then repost it?

Thanks, and I hope the rest of your trip goes well!

Hey Ms.Winzeler,
I just wanted know how were you not scared of that lime green moth caterpillar. How do you know if they are poisonus or not? Another question is have you seen any more of these Moth Catepillars, if you did what color were they?

Well nice talking to you and can't wait for you to come back.

Hay Ms. Winzeler. I was looking through your blogs and I noticed that the Moth Caterpillar was furry. Why is he so furry? Is it a self defiance mechanism that spreads the poison allover everything? By the way, you said that the Moth Caterpillar is very poisonous. Do you know if there is a naturally more poisonous caterpillar in the woods that you have been roaming around in and what would happen if it touched you.

Hi, Ms.Winzeler. How is it in Vietnam?Doesn't the sight of insects sicken you just from seeing the odd physical traits and characteristics?
