Moth Discovery at AoHC

 This is the moth our Preschool 2 class found out on the playground.  The vast majority of children asked said," It looks gross and creepy."  We got to learn about nocturnal animals and camouflage from discovering this beautiful moth.  Ms. Kelli also discussed the difference between butterflies and moths. This is just one example of a teachable moment that we take advantage of here at AoHC.  To learn more about our center please visit our website at www.academychilddevelopment.com.
We found out that this is a Polyphemus Moth when we looked at
