Superpillars linked activities
These supplementary activities enable pupils to explore butterflies and moths further by learning about the achievements of a naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian, whose careful observations and drawings showed that caterpillars turn into butterflies and moths, and look at butterflies in art, creating a picture using cut-out paper butterfly wings.
Pupils can also read 'Finding Butterflies' a book by Oxford Brookes University Undergraduate student, Georgia Wood.
