LESSON LXXII The Isabella Tiger-Moth, or Woolly Bear Leading thought—When we see the woolly bear hurrying along in the fall, it is hunting for some cozy place in which to pass the winter. It makes its cocoon of silk woven with its own hair. In May, it comes forth a yellowish moth with black dots on its wings. Method—Have the children bring in woolly bears as they find them, place them in boxes or breeding jars which have grass or clover growing in them. The children can handle the caterpillars while they are study- ing them, and then they should be put back into the breeding jars and be set out of doors where they can have natural conditions; thus the entire history may be studied. The Caterpillar Observations—i. How can you tell the woolly bear from all other caterpillars? Are they all colored alike? How many segments of the body are black at the front end? How many are red? How many seg- ments are black at the rear end of the body? How many segments does this make in all ? 2. Look closely at the hairs of the woolly bear. Are they set separately or in rosettes? Are any of the hairs of the body longer than others or are they all even ? 3. Can you see, just back of the head, the true legs with their little sharp claws ? How many are there ? 4. Can you see the fleshy legs along the sides of the body? How many are there of these?.
