lotis blue butterfly info!

2010-04-18T08:40:00.000-07:00

Hello!

have you ever heard of the lotis blue butterfly?

Possibly extinct, the Lotis Blue has not been seen alive since 1983. Little is known about this mysterious butterfly. It is only known from a few sites near Mendocino on California's north coast. Thought to have been restricted to a rare coastal bog type of habitat, this butterfly may be a victim of climatic shifts as much as development. Droughts in the late 1970s caused severe declines in populations of Coast Hosackia (Lotus formosissimus) the plant thought to have supported the development of this butterfly.

Bogs may be considered to be old ponds which have gradually undergone a process known as eutrophication, a process which eventually leads to dry land. Though this is natural and the butterfly has probably adapted to the need to move its location periodically, human activities may have played a role in altering successional patterns and preventing the formation of new bog habitat.

Ongoing studies are using aerial photography and other remote sensing techniques to attempt to identify areas potentially still inhabited by the Lotis Blue. If the butterfly is rediscovered attempts will be made to breed the species in captivity and assist individuals in getting to appropriate breeding sites. Meanwhile research is being conducted on the successional patterns of bog habitat and the needs of the host plant in a hopes of preventing its decline and perhaps that of other associated organisms in the future.

From small in size
To as big as whoppers
We hop in the grass
So we're called _____________

I'm busy, as busy as can bee,
Making honey for you and me.
My bumbling cousin is very busy too,
But she won't make honey to give to you._____________

I don't like butter, and I'm not a fly.
Whoever named me made a bad try.
When I'm not flying up too high,
You might chase me when I flutter by. _____________

Deer or horses are not these flies' dish,
But they'll bite you too, if they wish._____________

When a dog gets bit by these
He snaps or bites in hopes to seize
The pest that makes him ill at ease,
But with a jump, the insect flees._____________

A carpenter is very good
At building houses made from wood.
You may guess, that from our name,
We ants can also can do the same. _______________

misqueto catch up!

2008-08-15T13:13:00.000-07:00

did you know that female misqutoes only bite us and that males only bite plants?The reason the female only bites humans is becaus they need to feed their eggs something!And he reason it itches when they bite is because they're spit, we are all allergic to their spit that is why it itches and puffs up!

looks like the lady bug!

2008-04-09T15:00:00.000-07:00

More Ladybugs!

2008-03-30T13:32:00.000-07:00

Seeing as we were talking about our love of the ladybug, we figured this little blast from the past would entertain any ladybug fans out there. This is an oldy, but a goody from Sesame Street. Even one of our dads (and probably both) have seen this one and give it the ol' "thumbs up." Enjoy, and don't be afraid to do some dancing courtesy of the Children's Television Workshop and some funky animated 1970's insect life.
