Go outside with a grown-up and look for flowers, milkweed, or other plants that might help butterflies. You do not need to touch the plants. Draw one flower Mary could drink from and one plant where a caterpillar might hide.
Then look for clues that insects have visited. You might see chewed leaves, small eggs, tiny caterpillars, or flowers with pollen on them.
Think About It: What is one sign that insects are using the plants around you?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Mary may look delicate, but she is carrying a whole migration in those wings.”
