Curious 🤔 how we concluded 🐝-Fly is a male? Bee-Fly is a Black Swallowtail 🦋 This video shares clues we used for classification @ebracyPPS @nicscud @BrightonVA @SterlingWhite59 @jennthomas75 @hnealPPS @AP_Allen06 @PortsVASchools @DWilliamsPPSsci @ScienceWithMrsT

The Secret is Out! Yesterday, Ms. Mack & Ms. Mills’ scientists concluded their 🦋, 🐝-Fly, is a male after research & observations @ebracyPPS @nicscud @jennthomas75 @hnealPPS @AP_Allen06 @BrightonVA @PortsVASchools @DWilliamsPPSsci @HofflerCreek @ScienceWithMrsT

Our Hive 🐝 needed more friends to help pollinate! Today, Ms. Mack & Ms. Mills' class celebrated the emergence of their 🦋 from its chrysalis. @ebracyPPS @nicscud @jennthomas75 @hnealPPS @AP_Allen06 @BrightonVA @PortsVASchools @DWilliamsPPSsci @HofflerCreek @ScienceWithMrsT

🦋 Life Cycle Update! Day 13- This is what I saw when 👀 into enclosure this evening 😲 The 🦋 has begun to emerge from chrysalis @ebracyPPS @nicscud @SterlingWhite59 @jennthomas75 @hnealPPS @AP_Allen06 @BrightonVA @PortsVASchools @HofflerCreek @ScienceWithMrsT @DWilliamsPPSsci

🦋 Update! Fri, May 16 was Day 10 — looking 👀 for 🦋 to start emerging from chrysalis! Today is Day 11, observed chrysalis shake! @ebracyPPS @nicscud @AP_Allen06 @SterlingWhite59 @jennthomas75 @hnealPPS @BrightonVA @PortsVASchools @HofflerCreek @DWilliamsPPSsci @ScienceWithMrsT

🦋 Life Cycle in real-time! Observed in the larva stage. On Mon, 5/5/25, 🐛 began chrysalis stage. Waiting for 🦋 to emerge @ebracyPPS @SterlingWhite59 @nicscud @jennthomas75 @hnealPPS @AP_Allen06 @BrightonVA @PortsVASchools @HofflerCreek @DWilliamsPPSsci @ScienceWithMrsT
