Dear Journey North,
Mrs. Swentzel's third grade class from Stanhope(Byram), NJ carefully looked
at the three pictures of the butterflies and then read all of the
information about the three predators. This has really fit in with our
science well, since we study animals- predators and prey, with our animal
unit. We decided that picture # 1 was eaten by the Black-headed Grosbeak,
because the monarch's entire abdomen is missing in the picture. Picture #2
was eaten by the Black-backed Oriole, because the monarch appears to have a
portion of the body still there, but the insides are missing. In picture
#3 was eaten by the Black-eared Mouse, because the picture appears to have
only wings left on the ground. This is what is left behind when the
Black-eared Mouse has attacked its prey.
