The hands were washed. Goggles were placed on the eyes for extra protection. A petri dish containing nine pill bugs were obtained and set aside for later use. Two water bottles’ ends were cut and taped to each other creating a miniature tunnel for the pill bugs to crawl in. 50 mL of tap water was obtained in a small beaker and then was slowly moved into the lid of the bottle using a funnel.

I personally found Chapter 5 to be very fascianitng; I love learning about host manipulation. Organisms, regardless of size or other classifcations, aim to survive and reproduce.

An example of host manipualtion is the interaction between humans and the Guine worm.
The female lays her eggs on the tree, and when they hatch the larvae drills itself under the bark where the trees nutrients are stored. The larvae then tunnels its way around the inside of the tree to get its necessary nutrients. the article"State: Invasive beetle in 6 counties." explains it as “The eggs hatch and the larvae bore into the bark to the fluid- conducting vessels underneath. The larvae feed and develop, cutting off the flow of nutrients and, eventually killing the tree.” This is the problem that nothern America is facing, which is proving difficult to
During this period, we observed subtle signs of defensive mechanisms, as the chrysalises would tremble when disturbed. In preparation for their emergence as adult butterflies, we transferred the chrysalises into a white netted bag, which provided ample space for their wings to unfurl upon completion of metamorphosis. However, during this process, one of the chrysalises inadvertently fell to the bottom of the bag, a mishap that would later reveal unforeseen outcomes. Ten days later, on September seventeenth, one of the chrysalises successfully completed its transformation, emerging as a vibrant adult butterfly. We named this newfound creature Larry, and it symbolized the culmination of weeks of observation and care.
David Quammen’s essay, “The Face of a Spider,” is a humorous exploration of the mankind's relation to other species. A particularly intriguing idea enters at the end of the essay, when Quammen is making his ever beloved “eye contact with a tarantula.” When he stares it down, “the animal hid its face in distrust.” Humans tend to live their lives thinking that everything unlike them is untrustworthy. However, the author’s encounter with a tarantula supposes that other species could very well think we are the great evil to be feared in the night.
In the novel In the Time of the Butterflies, Julia Alvarez uses the motif of a butterfly to compare the four sisters and depict their experiences.

The Smarthinking program offers assistance in areas that majority of adult students may struggle in such as creating a essay. Since I’ve been out of school for almost 20 years I’ve struggled with creating a successful essay. I didn’t understand why we needed to prepare to tell a story.
